Default G16 rear suspension

When I've got a couple adults on the back seat, the rear tires occasionally rub on the fender wells.......I've searched other threads and this appears to be an easy fix.......I've got a Jake lift and looks like I need to get the heavy duty springs..........any other suggestions/hints/comments before I place the order? Thanks for any help!!

One comment - DO IT! I've got them on mine with a very heavy rear seat - worth every penny. (And a lot of pennies they are!)

The heavy springs are a must with the rear seat, especially with adults on it. It'll make the "unloaded" ride a lot stiffer but definitely necessary when the seat is in use. Cart will be a lot more stable too.

I highly recommend the spring spacer from plowman's it adds more preload on the spring giving you the load carrying ability without the stiffness of the heavy duty spring. They have a lot better ride then the heavy duty springs.

thanks for all the feedback......I like the spacer idea, but I'm dealing with original springs (nearly 20 years old!), so I'm probably gonna go ahead with new springs.

order new springs, they take 15 mins to put on and make for a much better ride
