Has anybody used the 4 leaf HD springs?? Thoughts and opinion on these.

Thanks offtwice... I guess that means there is hope for me... I guess i will have to wait and see.. Were they any harder to put on than a stock spring?

IMO The 4 leaf springs are made for the shuttles and 1200 series workhorses that carry lots of weight. With a rear seat they are OK as long as there is some extra weight in the seat. On a plain cart with no seat, yes they will be stiff. But you can probably pull the shortest one out if you find they are too stiff.

kgsc.. I did not know you could do that... That makes me feel a lot better... Are they harder to install with the 4 leaf? I did order longer u bolts and bushing too... Thanks...

Install is the same and new bushings is good. The workhorse in my avatar is my daughters and it has the 3 leafs in it because that is plenty for hers. Mine has the 4 leaf but it usually has at least a 54qt cooler in the bed full of libations and my 250 lb butt in the front. It is also the one I use to move boats, trailers and other heavy items. Little stiff but not bad.

ok.. thanks... is 40.00 a good price for 2 of em? TIA

I have the four spring set up on a 2000 TXT with a cargo box and stock height tires. It rides fine to me, driven on paved roads or semi-smooth yards. I do not go mud bogging or trail riding with it so can't speak on that aspect.

subby44, you bought the pair for $40 ? If they are new, you stole them.. On road you really won't notice too much but hit a few bumps and no give, they will remind you they are stiff.

I just put mine on about two months ago. Front and rear. It does make it a bit stiffer as Gorno said when solo, but when loaded is much easier. It is personal preference but I like the solid feel. Seems to take turns much better. Mine old ones were definitely shot.

What brand did you buy & where did you get them? I have 3 leafs on my TXT (w/backseat) & perhaps they're worn out (they're flat) but it's way to cushy

[subby44]

Mucksavage... I got them online.. I got the conf. # yesterday and noticed that I actually got the pair for 39.00 with free shipping... I ordered 2 because I thought I was only buying 1 for 39.00... It seems to me that I ordered four springs thinking I was getting two. If this is true, I will sell you the 2 extra for what I have in them and you pay the shipping on them.. let me know if you are interested!! I looked online a few min. ago and noticed the price on them went up 10.00...
