Default Bending u Bolts on take off!

This happened with my lift blocks on top of the axle. When I first put my High torque motor in my CC the first thing that happened was I broke the stock leaf springs. After that I bent the single u bolts that hold the rear end onto the leaf springs. I upgraded to 3 leaf boat trailer leafs and used the double ubolts that came with the new leaf springs. 2 ubolts for each side. Even after I added the doulbe ubolts to each side. The blocks that go on top of the axles and under the leaf springs were sliping forward under power and the motor was contacting the frame. I had to weld the lift blocks to the top of the axle to stop that. Did anyone else have the same problems with there lift and high torque motor install? If you did How did you fix it.

1997 CC 48 Volt, D&D ES-58 Torque Motor, Alltrax 4855 500 amp AXE, Some other goodies to!

You could easily change the acceleration ramp rate of the Alltrax.

If you look at the center you see an anchor bolt through the spring, that button should fit into a hole in the block and keep it from sliding.

No, No the thats what the thread is about. How I fixed it. I dont have that problem any more. I like the ramp up fast so it will pull a lil wheelie when I take off. Here are some pics of it.

Where the lift block set on the axle is where it was sliding. Not the leafs off of the block. The leafs I put on it had the tit to fit the top of the block. I welded the lift block to the axle and fixed the sliding.I welded it where I marked the picture in red.
