Rear leaf spring kit req'd on EZGO TXT rear seat install?
Quick question, I have a 2007 EzGo TXT 36V & planning on installing rear seats. Is it required or recommended to install a heavy duty rear leaf spring kit with it?
Cart is used in a trailer park and would carry kids on the back. Thanks John |

Definitely recommended, check out the medium duty leaf springs that Cart Parts Plus offers.

Not needed. My Dads cart has factory two leaf springs. Only bottom out with oversized turf tires. With stock tires no rubbing at all with 250+ lbs. On mine I got the 3 leaf to run 225/14"s. The ride went way rougher than before. They are stiff, hardly any drop with my 190lb self hopping on it.

Re: Rear leaf spring kit req'd on EZGO TXT rear seat install?
I am adding a rear seat to a 2012 EZGO TXT, and had the same question. I've researched this question a little, and it appears there are a number of leaf spring options. I'm gathering there are 2, 3, and 4 leaf springs. Some are considered standard and some are heavy duty. I've read here that a 3 leaf spring is enough for a rear seat where a 2 leaf spring is not adequate. The 4 leaf springs are really stiff and would really only be necessary for off road. All that said, I inspected the cart and discovered it has a set of 3 leaf springs installed from the factory. The specific question I have is there anyway of knowing if these springs are standard or heavy duty? Have any of you ran into the 3 leaf springs on factory carts, and will they support a rear seat?
Thanks! I hope this info is helpful to someone else as well. |

No problem. Hopefully someone can help with the spring questions.
