95 Medalist rear spring replacement

[leftex]

I recently purchased a 1995 gas Medalist. It came with an extra pair of 4 leaf springs. The existing 3 leaf springs are sagging badly. How do I go about replacing the old springs? The new springs have new rubber bushings. Where do I place the floor jack to lift the cart? Where do I put supports? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome to BGW
Changing rear suspension can be a real challenge for someone who is not experienced.....but if you want to get some questions answered post them in the appropriate section. Ezgo: gas or electric?

You can jack it up from the back to right when the wheels are almost off the ground. then take all the bolts out of the springs and put the new springs on, its real easy. the engine frame holds the rear end and axles together so you just have to line the spring back up with its pin, jack the rear up a little more to acomadate the arch of the new springs and bolt back together. You will need to check and make sure your bolts that attach the axle to the spring will work with the thicker 4 leaf spring, you may need longer ones.

Thanks, guys. I thought I posted in the right place. Apparently not. I'll keep trying.

I though you did too until you posted it again, it was only then I assumed it was moved here.

Does anybody else have any more suggestions? I plan to change out the springs this weekend.
