Back seat removal spring question

Hit it like a champ · 06-24-2019, 07:15 AM

I removed my back seat so should i change the springs in the back to get a smoother ride. If i do will i have to change the block in the back of the all sport 6’’ a arm lift kit. I am assuming that the HD springs are back there because it came from Jakes with a back seat.

Can I just remove one of the springs out of the leaf pack

Yes you can, I removed the overload leaf from my DS spring pack to help level the cart. Just be aware it will lower the rear of your cart by as thick as the springs you remove.

Ok i will remove a spring but it still worries me that the lift kit had 2 options for the rear block one for the stock leaf pack and one for the HD set up. Dave hicks would know about this maybe he will chime in later I bought the lift from him.

I just looked at the cart it only has one leaf in there. I am guessing i need to order the stock leafs then. Is there a way to tell if it is the stock set up on there.

Send us a photo or two of the springs currently in them. If the cart is older, and the springs are stiff, I would bet you have aftermarket springs in them that are HD or stiffer than stock.
If the cart is newer however, even the new leafs can feel stiff until they get broken in after a while.
