Shackle binding
Has anyone had this problem with a jakes lift? It’s a 2014 gas precedent with new 6” lift and the rear shackles bottom out on the frame. I checked with jakes and they said the spring length is correct and that I shouldn’t need longer shackles. They stay in this position unless I pickup the rear of the cart and returns to this when you sit on it. Not a smooth ride when springs don’t work. I guess I just need longer shackles?

Re: Shackle binding
A few other people have had this problem with aftermarket springs on certain precedent carts. I don’t know if there is a fix other than using longer shackles.

Re: Shackle binding
I don't know how "handy" you are, but if you can make your own? there's a cool fix for that in this thread...
