Default Leaf spring upgrade for rear seat?

Hey guys,

Just wondering, we recently put a rear seat kit on the back of our 2000.5 cart. The rear gets a lil low when people are back there so I was wondering what leaf spring kit to add to the rear?

Also, I wouldn't mind a small lift, maybe 2" or so. How would I add that to the front and rear? Thanks!!

As far as leaf springs go, I just ordered a HD set from Jegs for $64.99. Plan on installing them Sunday on my 2013 DS. I’ll let you k is how it goes

If you read thru a lot of previous posts you will see that many guys have put the 4 leaf leaf springs on in place of the stock. I recently upgraded my 97 with the 3 leaf by direction of the local CC dealer. He said the 4 leaf ride would be really stiff and that its a bear to put them on. So I took his advice and went with the 3 leaf. If you have stock tires you should be fine but if you have aftermarket oversized tires you may rub with 2 people on the back. Once you get the front bolt loose or cut off the front shackle, its a pretty easy install.

Dual action springs for the street. They do not stiffen up till the load demands it. Ride much smoother on the street...

Hey bud, how did this go? I checked em out and they look like the 4 leaf spring kits. Pretty hefty!!


Alos, do we need to order longer Ubolts to go with these?

Your Ubolts should be fine. I had 1/2" to 3/4" of thread showing after I installed my 3 leaf (dual action).
