I don't think that it is necessary to upgraded the F/R switch. It is more important that you get the correct F/R switch for your cart, and then check or change all of the cables in question. If you're not sure of the cable condition, change them all. Now's a good time to go to 4 gauge cables if they are 6 gauge.
I definitely with adding new cables,
and if you are replacing F/R then go with the heavier one it could prevent problems later on.
A ? where in the world did you find 6 x 8Volt batteries for only $500, thats a deal , what type ?
