Re: Aren't These Rear Leaf Shackles Really Long? 2014 TXT
Looks like your axle is above the springs. Most lift kits I have installed move it below the springs and use stock shackles.

Am I the only one who thinks the springs appear to be mounted upside down?

Not sure what some people are seeing. The loop on the end is on the top of the spring, which is usually correct. Camera angle might be distorting the arch at the end of the main leaf.

Sometimes it is best to wait until you get the ride height right to order shocks. Depending on the manner the cart is lifted and where the shocks mount, the shock length might change.

Re: Aren't These Rear Leaf Shackles Really Long? 2014 TXT
This configuration is very common in this area right now. There is a company out there that is buying up fleets of TXT48's and "refurbishing" them. One of the ways they have made it cost effective for themselves it only purchasing a front spindle lift and then fabricating the long shackles. This saves time because its way faster to install a front spindle lift in the front than a drop axle. The rear is faster because they just replace the shackles instead of taking the time to put the leaf springs on top of the axle. The ride quality is pretty sloppy especially when turning.

Is it common to take out the rear shocks on this "refurb"?
