Did Moving To Top Hole Change The Toe Or Anything. My G14 Does The Exact Same Thing

You don't have to use the top hole, keep moving the shocks closer to it. If it ends up in the top hole that's fine. Looking at the front of the cart wheels like this / \ move shocks toward the top, wheels like this \ / move toward bottom hole.

Got It. Mine Are In The 3rd Hole From Outside And Sit Like / \. Not Real Bad But Some. Will Move Up And Try. Thank You. Geep 1 Is Outstanding. I Just About Have My Cart Done And Then Will Be Looking For New Motor. Trying To Get To A Point To Post Pics.

With no weight the wheels were fine but with my fat *** in the cart the did / \

Mine was in the next to top hole and I moved them to the top hole.

I really like the Jakes arm lift, the adjustment is great.

Now I need one on the Geep1, saving my nickels!

New Guy, what source would I go to get the 1/4" spacer? Mine could be better.

I believe this is what Plowmans does when they "rebuild" shocks. Not sure if they would sell just the spacers. I made mine here at work and I could make more if enough guys are interested, PM me.

I was looking at mine today, I don't know if my springs will come off with out pushing the upper bushing out, then having to reinstall it.
Don't have a press.
