Default Ride quality

Good morning, I have a 16 President, when I purchased it I had the dealer install a 6 inch all sports left, and backseat module. It has 12 inch wheels with 23 inch turf tires. The ride is so hard and so stiff, by the way I leave my tires at 14 pounds per square inch air pressure, as I say the rye is as stiff as could be and now I am getting ready to switch out from lead acid to lithium. I can’t imagine how much further reduction reduction of 400 pounds or so of weight will make it stiffer yet. What has other people done when switching from lead acid to lithium?

I purchased it from Golf Cart Depot in pompano, I am sure they did HD springs when they did the rear seat

Putting stock or dual rate springs in will help.

I removed a leaf off my HD's and it helped but not enough. Looking at options also, may remove another leaf.

I removed my shocks and just ride on single leaf springs. It made a world of improvement.

I wouldn't think that shocks would make any difference.

I'm running a 2010 Precedent on single-leaf springs no prob. I haven't put 4 adults in the cart, but I've done two adults and a couple dead hogs.

How did you remove a leaf? I do see the band holding the sections together but it looks like that would not allow to remove one leaf
