Default New hd front leaf spring now camber off

I just installed a heavy duty front leaf spring on my 2005 Club Car DS. It already has a lift on it. The new spring is only about 1/4 in thicker but now my camber is way off. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

Just curious...why the HD spring on front and not a new standard spring?

The HD springs don't give much. Most suspensions are designed with a little big of "sag", meaning the suspension settles a little with no weight on it. Once you get some weight in it they will compress some.

How much does the camber change if you stand on the front end? Or put some weight in the cart, like two adults. Does it change?

You might get more and better responses in the Club Car threads.

Beyond that I've rarely done any front suspension changes that haven't affected the camber and or toe in. Depending on the lift kit installed it may or may not be adjustable enough to get back to where it would be ideal. I recently worked on a Yamaha that had only three settings for camber and none was really what we wanted to see. We settled on the one that allowed the best steering and handling and called it a day.
