Long travel front suspension with soft springs will fix the front end for sure. I'm a huge fan of LT suspensions. I've used the Jakes LT many times with good reports from all, even after years of use they are still holding up good. Now Rhox makes an LT kit that claims to be made for "off road". I've not used it yet, but it looks nice, price isn't bad either. Not sure if they have one for that model cart.
Dual action rear springs are supposed to be worth the cost and effort. If someone here has used them they will chime in.
And....um.....did you just compare a golf cart to an off road pickup truck?  Not even in the same arena. Your golf cart is not, and was never made for off road use, other than cart path, fairway, and smooth grass traveling. Throwing a lift kit and big tires on it and expecting a cadillac ride? Not sure who talked you into that one lol  |
Thanks. I'll try 10 psi. Will bring my compressor with me in case I get them too low out in the field.
They are indeed 6-ply Arisuns. Time will tell if I made a good decision there. They were recommended by site sponsors who knew what I wanted to do with the cart.
I will put a long travel kit in my mental budget for down the road.
I never said I was expecting a Cadillac ride. I just had no idea it was going to be this bleeping brutal. It's honestly amazing to me how often site sponsors here or golf cart vendors elsewhere have said things like "It's easy" and "That'll work great" and then I come back later and say it was hard and they said "Of course it was hard" or I say it worked terribly and they say "Of course it worked terribly."
Sad really. I've been crystal clear about what I wanted.
