Default Suspension question

After doing upgrade to batteries and adding extra batery to make a 42 volt cart. The cart is lower on driver side because extra battery is on that side. Any easy fix that any one has come up with or what suspension upgrade(s) do I need to do. Thanks for any help here.

By the way cart runs awesome on 42 volts on stock motor, tires and wheels. Thanks to Scotty B and company.

I would think that spring was already weak. I don't see putting another 45 pounds on that side making the lean noticeable? How old are the springs on the cart? Maybe go to HD springs...but it will ride rougher.

So a 45 pound battery makes a cart lean? Sure it will load that side a bit but enough to make a cart look like it has fat man lean?

Lack of experience adjusting a carb can make it lean or fat. Mount your Caterpillar battery on the rear step and you can wheelie, it weighs more than 45 pounds, or you can mount a fat guy on the rear step and drive with a full moon?????????? What you think there Clem??

It will, but unless that spring is super soft or already leaning should not make your cart have a fat man's lean.

I see carts all the time with a person sitting in the seat aND they don't noticeably lean. That's my point.

Yep if we're talking those huge school buss batteries that are like 2ft long then yes it may lean

it is the original factory springs. There was no lean present until battery added. So, if that helps. Any solutions to the problem. Or what equipment i should buy.

thanks
