Default HD Leaf Springs RXV

Guys, I am new to the whole cart scene, but I had a few questions concerning the suspension on my '09 RXV.

I bought it used with a 6" lift kit and back seat already added. When I have it loaded with 4 passengers, it feels like it is "bottoming out" in the rear when I go over bumps. IT also has what seems to me to be quite a bit of "body roll" on corners.

I have looked it over and both the leaf springs and shocks appear to be original equipment but I cannot be sure. A 6" spacer was added on top of the axle with the leaf springs and shocks attached.

My questions are as follows:

Is there a way to tell if HD Leaf Springs have already been added? Looking at ordering site the Standard and HD appear the same. I am assuming the only difference is the thickness of the spring.

Is there such a thing as a HD Shock for the RXV?

What do you guys recommend I do to enhance the ride?

I have the same issues that you have and noticed it during Halloween when the kids all got tired and wanted rides home

This will not fix the issue but it will help... I was running 5-7psi in the rear tires at the time, I recently put 18psi in the tires and piled the kids back on... It did take the "Hop-bounce" effect out but we still would bottom out occasionally.

If you find stiffer springs - let me know. I would be interested as well.

I put Monroe air shocks on the rear of mine.

Thanks guys, I have located some HD Leaf Springs here ( I could not find any on the sponsor's websites):

I am running 20lbs air in my tires. I was hoping for some experience with the HD Springs.
