EZGO TXT with a lift: 2.5" or 3.5" rear leaf shackle?

[MikeF0209]

I have a question. Can anyone clarify with size shackle should I use with heavy duty leaf springs on the rear of the TXT 48v 2013? I have both 2.5" and 3.5" rear shackle both sold currently by EZGO.

Which ones should I use on a lifted cart with HD leaf springs?

Thanks,

[MikeF0209]

No one has any input?

HD springs and regular springs have the same arch, so shackle length has nothing to do with the rear spring type. (you will get the same lift on either spring). Shackle length will have an effect on height, so pick the size that matches the front lift (if you have any).

Thanks Mutley, I did. stayed with the 2.5 which is are the factory ones and it improved stance since my non HD leafs were flattening out due to the weight in the back.
