Air Shocks on G9
Just wanted to share some information on how I added Air Shocks to my G9 in the rear.
I installed Monroe Max-Air 785. After reviewing the specs for so many shocks, these seemed like the perfect ones. http://www.monroe.com/en-US/e-catalog/MA785 Here is what I got in the kit: I had to remove part of the bushing and the metal pin to install on the cart. The opening on the cart is 1 and 1/4 inch top and bottom. I used a metal saw, took about 30 minutes to do all 8 cuts. I then proceeded to remove the "trunk" or back cover over the engine, transmission, etc. Jacked up the rear of the cart and proceeded to remove the 4 bolts (14mm). Installed the new air shocks, inverting them to make the air connector accessible (L and R are identified on the shocks, installed the L on the right hand side when looking at the cart from the back and same with other side) I hooked up the air line that was supplied in the kit. Here is the T-Connector from both sides connecting to the air valve Inflated the shocks at 75psi (Minimum is 20psi, max 150psi) Here is the final result With 2 adults in the front and 1 standing in the back, there is still a lot of clearance for the rear tires. Rides pretty smooth, at least on gravel/sand roads at the camp site |

Re: Air Shocks on G9
You guys always get me thinking and spending $$$. Did you install and on board compressor or do you just air up as needed?

Re: Air Shocks on G9
Right now, just air up as needed. Since it is being used on a campground, I don't think I will need to adjust the pressure on a regular basis.

Re: Air Shocks on G9
Thanks for sharing the information. I recently had someone ask me which shocks to use and since I'm using air bags, I had no idea. The pictures and instructions are also helpful.

Re: Air Shocks on G9

Re: Air Shocks on G9
Very cool! I've seen others do this, glad you posted the actual part number. I'm sure that shock will work on a lot of different carts. Well done.

Re: Air Shocks on G9
I like your work but I have to ask the obvious question. Without the coil over spring what happens to the rear of the cart if you lose air pressure.

Re: Air Shocks on G9
I installed a take-off set of Harley touring air shocks, 13" (also available 12")
