Hi all, do I need to upgrade anything in the suspension or the like to accommodate a backseat and passengers?
Thanks |

Re: suspension
Most add heavy duty leaf springs to accommodate the extra weight.

Re: suspension
Thanks LostHusker.
How about those of you with stock suspension? Are you ok with a backseat and passengers? How is the handling? |

Re: suspension
Yep, pretty much unsafe with 4 passengers & stock springs IMO. The stock monoleaf springs are prone to breakage when worn out, which will happen sooner with the increased load.

Re: suspension
I did a quick 'n easy fix for my rear seat passengers and suspension. I took the rear seat off and replaced it with a piece of very rough plywood. Of course, I did paint the plywood green to match the forest. However, nobody wants to ride and get splinters.
And BTW....I'm all good with that.  |

Re: suspension
Or you'll sit down on it on a 90+ degree day & you'll have diamond plate pattern branded on your arse
