need new shocks now
Put in heavy duty springs to replay my club car single leafs, now my stock shocks are too short by about 2 1/4". These are not intended to be lift springs but do provide some lift. What shocks are recommended or brackets?
Forgot to mention that measurement is with out the batteries in. |

Re: need new shocks now
I'll second no shocks. I have a 6 inch lifted cart with no shocks all around and it seems to do just fine. Eaarly carts didn't have them from the factory.

Re: need new shocks now
Only draw back from no shock is too much bounce...the shock acts as a damper....it is easy to go to Napa or ? and have them match up a shock for your needs ie: travel & mounts...I have done it several times.

Re: need new shocks now
Check with Tom @ Cart Parts Plus... he may have shock extentions...
They came with the Super Sport 7.5 lift... he may be able to get them seperately! |

Re: need new shocks now
Have you thought of a thread conector nut, and the threaded rod to fill the space? They com in standard thread size, and could allow for this to work at minimal cost of about $5.00.

but, I had thought that the threads on the shocks were metric, It may be hard to find metric "All Thread"... But, I could be wrong! |
