too stiff
OK it's been a while since I've been here but I finally got a Jakes' 5" lift and
22-10-10 trail wolfs and so far everything is great. The only thing I don't like is how stiff the springs are. I know they are only the stockers but when going through trails it feels "tippy". Gives you that uneasy feeling of "bad things are gonna' happen". Is there anything I can do to get more articulation out of this thing? Oh yeah, I'm gonna post some pics as soon as I can get my wife to let me use her camera. |

Re: too stiff
you only have 3" of travel of suspension. Only way to get more articulation is to put longer shocks on it

Re: too stiff
Let the air pressure down to 8 pounds each and slow down

Re: too stiff
I'm already running 7-8 psi in the tires and I am going slow
 . It's the steeper off camber stuff that starts to give me the willies  . Where do I get longer shocks? Is that the limiting factor or is there something else I can do with the springs to get them to flex more? |

Re: too stiff
if you are feeling tippy, you have to think how high you are on a narrow track golf cart. If you are only trying to fix the "tippy" feeling. Add 2" wheel spacers to all four corners to widen the golf cart

Re: too stiff
I've thought about wheel spacers and I may get them as well but I'd also like to get it to flex a little more.

Re: too stiff
only new shocks will give you more flex

Re: too stiff
Perhaps I could hook you up with a setup like this. Rides smooth as could be.
