Club Car DS Heavy Duty Deluxe Rear Leaf Spring Kit by MODZ

Exactly as described. Good Product.

These springs are a must for a back seat setup. I just installed on my 99 club car ds and it had the original springs which always sagged with the kids on it.The installation is pretty straight forward, but if you want to save your self the headache of the bolt removal just chop them off with a cutoff wheel and buy new, it will save you a couple hrs and alot of choice words.Also as some people had mentioned make sure to grind the top but if the spring round so it fits in the axle hole.Other than that everything works and fits nicely and as long as there is weight on the back it's not bumpy at all without the shocks.May look at adding those next but with a gas setup the top bolts are damn near impossible to get to.

Shot all the connections on the cart with PB Blaster the night before and afternoon of installation to make removal of old springs easier. Took a buddy and I 1.5 hours to take off the old setup and install the new. Couldn’t have gone any smoother.I do wish it came with new bushings and u bolts. As a non mechanic I was glad my buddy pointed out these were needed.Firmed the ride right up. So much so that it’s a little bouncy over bumps with just me one it. However carting 4 200LB adults, a small child and a 70LB dog is a dream ride. Holds the road on turns way smoother too. No more roll.Well worthy upgrade if you have a back seat and frequently carry groups of people.

UPDATE:Wife found these springs annoyingly stiff. I solved problem by taking out the middle leaf. Result is about 3X stiffer than original and plenty stiff even for allowing tire chain use in these Maine winters (the cart is our prime mover when all is icy). Wife now very happy.FIRST REVIEW:I estimate these springs are about 6x stiffer than the original. Without any other changes they elevated the rear of the cart about 2.5 inches which allows me plenty of clearance for the tire chains I use during the winter....even with wheel extensions so the chains don't attack the brake cables.Fit was fine. Bushings were right size. Had to cut one original shackle bolt with a side grinder and drive pieces out after heating with propane torch but that is not the fault of these springs.These springs are two leaves thicker than the original (which has a single tapered spring) and as a result the bottom bracket is a bit lower. The original U bolts were long enough but the shock absorber doesn't extent quite far enough to allow for proper travel. But, the original shock is matched to the original spring and thus it is not resistant enough for this heavy duty spring. So, I didn't bother to remove the original shocks, I just compressed them and tied them in the up position with some nylon cord run over the top bracket.I doubt the shocks are needed anyway because these springs reduce swaying as they are stiff and the friction between the leaves acts as a damper and serves some of the purpose of the right shock absorbers.Now the wife can load up the rear with her usual tons of gardening supplies or a couple of those 200 pound guests that want a tour of the grounds -- and the cart doesn't droop.

Needed these to add a back seat to out golf cart. Installation went good and all is working as expected.

As I said, the quality seems good, took a while to get here and box was trashed, but all parts were inside and nothing was damaged. They went on pretty easy. Only problem and reason for 4 stars is that the seller states you won't need shock extenders (in Q&A). You will most definitely need shock extenders. I tried 8 ways to Sunday to finagle them back on, just not happening without extenders on my 2008 club car ds. The seller should include them in the kit in my opinion, or at least let you know that they will be needed. Some people simply leave the shocks unbolted. To me, the cart was designed to have shocks, so you should use them. The shocks will also keep your rear wheels from hopping around when going over bumps. If you are driving fast and going over bumps while turning, you could lose traction and roll over from the wheel hop. Yes you could always drive slow. You could also do the job right the first time.

I installed these on both of my 2003 club cars and what a difference! with the stock springs the cart would drop 4 or 5 inches with a couple adults in the back seat. Now I can load up with beach chairs, coolers and 4 passengers and it is rock solid. It even handles better because it has less roll in the corners. I suspect the ride would be rougher off road, but I drive strictly on asphalt. Installation was pretty easy. I'm not terribly handy but don't mind trying new things. I had 2 floor jacks. 1 to jack the cart and 1 to support the rear axle. Probably took a couple hours total, but the 1st side was figuring things out and the 2nd side took half the time. I elected to just disconnect the bottom bolt on the shock and just leave the old shock absorber in place but disconnected because the top bolt is quite a bit tougher to reach.

Fitted these to my 2009 ClubCar after purchasing new larger diameter wheels from a well known big box retailer following a flat tire. Carrying four adults with the new larger wheels caused scraping under the rear wheel arch. Turned out my standard springs had just a single leaf. These triple leaf springs, were very easy to install and work great. Nice ride and no scraping. I did not bother extending the original shocks, just tucked them up out of the way.
