Why is my cart so low
Hi, I have a 96 EZ GO that sits a little low in the front. It has stock suspension. When I compare it to my neighbors the difference is about 1.5 inches. We did notice that the sleeve of the shock on his is about 1 inch longer. Can a shock if bad change the ride height? is there any thing else I should look for? Thanks

Re: Why is my cart so low
Shock absorbers support no weight on your cart. Do you both have the same number of leaves in your springs?

Jim is correct, too. The shocks only take the "bounce" out of the leaf spring. . . |

Re: Why is my cart so low
I just had the same problem with my 98. I went to MMT on Saturday and picked up a whole new set of HD springs.
Made the cart look like it has a 2" lift Order a set of springs and get the HD's.....you'll be happy! Oh,,,,,,and WELCOME to BGW  Kev |

Re: Why is my cart so low
So I understand the leafs need to be replaced. But while I was working on the front end the other day I noticed that the shocks dont work at all. If i replace them I wont get any lift at all, not even an inch? Just wanted to be sure. Thanks
