85 Marathon custom lift

You might consider installing a control bar from your front axle back to the center of the frame.
Like a trailing arm only backwards.
That is a lot of stress to put on those half spring ends.

Crash12888 good thought! I might end up doing it. I need to get the motor and batteries sorted out. Once I take my first ride and see how it handles Ill see if maybe a crossbar system or just a single control bar is needed. A local shop did the same 10" lift and they didn't have any issues besides the cart rocking from side to side at high speeds.

Thanks,

YQ
