Rear seat kit and springs
I just bought my first golf cart. It is a 1998 E-Z Go TXT Shuttle. I know nothing about golf carts but I am learning. I want to add a rear seat kit to it. The rear seat will be used by two adults. I know it is advised to upgrade to heavy duty rear leaf springs. My question is do I need to upgrade the front leaf springs too, or just do the rear? I have found numerous videos on replacing the rear springs but none on how to replace the front ones.

You don’t have to mess with the front at all. [emoji106][emoji2532]

Re: Rear seat kit and springs
Unless the fronts are "sagging" (very rare) the stock ones are fine.
If/when you look for rear springs, I would go with a "progressive" type spring.. Just getting a HD rear spring kit makes the ride of just 1 or 2 folks very harsh. Here is the one I used on my 98 Txt, and YES you will need to replace the bushings, Im sure most of yours are worn or even missing....... https://www.ecartparts.com/golf-cart...-gas-1996-2008 |

Plus one on the progressive, sometimes called dual action, rear springs.
