Lifted rough ride solutions?

aaron29851 · 03-21-2018, 05:46 AM

I recently installed hd springs on front and rear now it is a extremely rough ride is there anyway aftermarket solutions that will dampen or help? it has a 6” spindle lift, is there a shock upgrade or anything else that comes to mind?

Not once you are where you at now. As you can see, the flex is gone and this stiffens it greatly. An A-arm (suspension) lift is a much better ride to me and is one of the reasons I prefer it.

Shocks on carts are more like dampeners that shock absorbers so they do not act like the ones you get on cars. I have seen people who did not have to have every leaf remove one to soften the ride some. You may look into that and see it is feasible.

For the rear, dual action leaf springs are softer than the HD springs , but I never found a solution for the front...

Yeah, you might want to see if you can exchange for the dual action leafs. Had the heavy duty springs on my 01 CC DS and got the dual actions on my new 09 CC Precedent, its a world of difference.

Yea it’s not even enjoyable my back is sore from just riding around yesterday but it’s hunting land so it’s not smooth at all I’ve got to find a solution or go to a utv you’d think somebody would come up with some shocks outside of getting long travel kit

Shocks will not help if you have zero travel.

Why did you put on HD springs if you did not want a rough ride?

aaron29851 · 03-21-2018, 07:02 PM

Due to lift and torque from alltrax it was twisting springs

aaron29851 · 03-21-2018, 07:32 PM

I didn’t put shock extensions on it is this my real issue

OK, why not just reprogram the controller to not accelerate to the point of bending the springs? From what been lead to believe here about Alltrax, it's as simple as adjusting the temperature of your fridge.
