EZGO 70989G03 Heavy Duty Front

I ordered these for my 93 and they were 2 inches longer and they also lifted it a little i think they were for a 2003 and newerbut they worked fine.

Nice! The ones I ordered aren't heavy duty ones but they should do the trick making the wheelbase longer.

I have used 1" blocks btwn the rear of the front springs and body to
correct a rubbing problem with the brake peddle.

Did you create the blocks?

yep, we have a steel place here that I bought some 1x2" square steel tubing,
then cut it 4" long, drilled a hole in the end to accept the one bolt that goes
through the spring, used some longer bolts and walla.. gota pull the floormat.

Here's some 2x2x4" I used on a rear lift.

Sounds like something I need to take a shot at. I found some places online that have 3/4-1 thick stuff that they will cut to length. I have a free-standing drill press. Time for it to do some drilling on metal for a change. LOL

Okay for anyone who is interested, I received my springs today and put them on. Big difference, no rubbing on the usual spots around the farm where it used to. Really happy with the purchase and the result. They bolted right on no problem and didn't change the steering anyway with the exception of having to center the steering wheel.

I was going to do a before and after photo but I was a little to excited to get them on and forgot the before picture. I did do the after.



The old springs were 17.5" and the new ones were 19'. Not much difference but enough.

Looks good , it is just a subtle change
