So your saying the rear end is not attached to the leaf springs right ??. So that would mean that the Ubolts holding the rear axle tube to the springs broke and the rear is loose ?? If the ubolt broke, the brakes probably locked up

This seems to be a reoccurring theme on lifted carts per this forum. Thinking the makers of these lifts need to be held more accountable before someone gets seriously hurt. If only 1% of lifted cart owners are on this forum, that says something about how often this must be happening in the real world.

Check out clicky to see if this looks familiar. CLICKY

That's why I try to sell All-Sports Super Sport lift kits to anybody who is interested in lifting their cart. Never had a problem with them.

Dang! I was at camp this weekend and I meant to check to see if I had the two U bolts on my axle or just one...
How tough is it to make it two U bolts Dave?
