The springs just get so week after years and years of use. Just got the shocks on tonight and found that it fixed it. Snowmobile shocks would work also. Just be sure if you replace the shock get an adjustable set.
This is what we had to do for the neighbors G1. Theses are Fox shocks, adjustable coil overs from a snowmobile. We had to preload them quite a bit. Then again, we did add alot of weight to this cart.
We struggled with this for a couple weeks before we just dropped the top mount and eureka!

That one got lifted 7 inches as well. That's why we had to drop it so low.
