Re: Heavy duty leaf springs?
I still might remove one more leaf it only took me 15 minutes to do both side last night. I currently have 3 on the cart. But removing that 4th helped out big time.

Re: Heavy duty leaf springs?
I've put a li'l longer shackle on the back of my '88. Gave me about 1" of lift. Rides super smooth.
Usage is 90% golf. 2 200+ riders (I'm 240) and 2 60+ bags. Rides great. Will bottom on big "hits".. Dunno if that helps. |

Re: Heavy duty leaf springs?
Just installed the heavy duty 2 leaf springs and put in new bushings on the back bracket and it looks good, wanted to take it for a ride but while I was replacing the springs I got in a hurry and took to much off at one time and dropped the axle and motor rolled forward. Now when I put it in reverse it just pulses then put it in forward it still pulses in reverse. Looks like I still have work to do. Maybe a good excuse to upgrade motor and controller. Got leaf springs from cartpartsplus.com $115.00 free shipping quick delivery.

Re: Heavy duty leaf springs?
I started out with new extended auto shackles from an auto discount store. It gave me the height I wanted so I could clear the 22 inch tires, but the springs were just too old and weak. So, I purchased new, American made three leaf HD springs. This sucker bounces and jars the heck out of me now, but I will be able to put to big bodies on the back when I get through, and not have to worry about it bottoming out. I did have to put shock extenders on once I installed the shackles. I got them at an auto parts store also.
