Any other needs with lift kits?
Do I need to buy new shocks/springs with lift kit or can I use my stock ones for now?

Re: Any other needs with lift kits?
I'm pretty sure the lift kit comes with all you need. Most standard lifts use the stocks shocks, just relocated...

You can add shocks later, but if your future plans are to install a back seat or utility bed, then I would replace the rear springs and shocks with heavy duty ones. The work does overlap so a little easier to do when installing the lift.

Re: Any other needs with lift kits?
The 2 biggest things with shocks on Yamis are :
1: Does the Left-front lean down(tired coil on shock)replace both fronts. 2:Are you adding a rear-seat or dump-box? Heavier Coils recommended. The lean is very common,since there is always someone on that side,but not necessarily on the right.The heavier coils are nice for weight,but make it quite stiff,so don't add them just to beef the cart up,it will ride harder.You will acyually see an improvement in ride with the lift and larger tires(unless they are super-stiff)Hope this helps. |
