Ezgo low in the rear

darty411 · 06-16-2018, 09:34 AM

I have a 2006 36v pds ezgo. I installed a jakes 6" spindle lift with disc brakes on the front and a their rear lift to match...I put heavy duty 4 leaf springs on the rear. I also put on ezgo heavy duty coil over shocks all the way around...Now the cart sits 1.5" - 2" low in the rear. Does anyone know of anyone that sells a 2" block for the rear? Just don't like the low rear end look. Thanks in advance..

you don't need to put larger blocks.....something a LOT easier, and even cheaper would just to put 2" longer SHAKLES. you could easily make your own out if flat bar.

For 2" of extra lift, the rear shackles should be about 4" longer since it's roughly halved by the geometry of the suspension.

an easy way to figure out how long the shackles wound need to actually be would be to use a good floor jack and lift at the back frame in the middle, take the weight off of the rear axel, then take the bottom bolts out of th8e shackles. them lift the cart to the height to acquire a level ride height, measure the distance. if nothing else, I t would give you the dimension required to make longer shackles if you go route.

Did you figure out what you needed? How did the coil overs ride in the rear? I'm looking for answers on why mine rides like there are 2 by 4's as shocks. Soooooo stiff. How does your ride?
