I'm about to lift my cart and I still have the flimsy stock leafs. I'm taking pachanga's advice and taking them to a spring shop. Seems like it would be a lot easier to have them customized to your needs. PLUS, I like to help a guy make a buck in my own town...my .02

Goochy,Another option is to take your stock springs,remove a long leaf,and add it to the medium-duty pack.It will stiffen them quite a bit.Or just bring them with you to a spring-shop and have them fit them for you.Hope this helps.

They get a little tippy,especially when you lift them,since you change the center of gravity.The height of a lift-kit makes a big difference on a cart because its' designed center of gravity is so low,then add increased speed,larger more flexible tires and it just amplifies the feeling of being tipsy.

Shocks make a big difference,especially if you aren't running any.

Wife HATES cart , so I ordered a new set of HEAVY duty springs this time . Shocks are next if springs do not fix my problem . I have got to stop some of the flexxing . I hope the heavy duty leafs fix the problem . I am very disappointed in the medium springs .
