Do you have to use shock extenders with these leaf springs?

We reused the existing shock absorbers. No need to buy new. I would not run without them for safety's sake.

No, these just bolt in place and your existing shock will extend just fine. I have put these on 3 different carts and they work great. However, your biggest hurdle may be getting the old bolts out of the existing springs. Spray them with WD40 a day in advance.

Please do not stretch the springs. They are factory set to a high tolerance. you will cause the device to work incorrectly and likely fail the annual inspection.

No. U need to have the spring coil installed U need a special machine to do that

They're just shocks they won't raise it any.You'll probably need an add-a-leaf for towing or an air bag system of some sort

The spacers will not work on some rear springs because the coil spacing is greater than the thickness of spacer. Typically rear drive solid axles are not candidates for these spacers. They can be used on many strut style rear suspensions but the coil spacing should be checked first. If the spacing is 1" or more, they won't do much for the ride height and would need to be tied in. In this case they will only limit wheel travel under jounce.

They work amazing.. No spring needed.. Only thing is a bushing needs to be drilled out and and trimmed. a 5/8x 1/2 x 1 spacer is also needed... Easy to do

If you mean spring tensioned to absorb shock, no, they do not. Once locked to length, the pole is rigid. However, the rubber tip used for asphalt walking that is included does absorb some shock by design as it's a soft rubber with multiple nubs on it.

the shocks are compressed but when you twist them they're supposed to elongateand if they didn't you need to pull them back out and twist them I believe by either clockwise or counterclockwise and they should elongate therefore not being compressed anymore otherwise something is wrong with the shock itself

you need to get the ones for a four inch lift, or they will not have enough rebound. They are great shocks, mine are for three inch lift, check application chart.

Yes, you do not want to run one side on old leaf springs. In addition, you will want to purchase new bolts.

I actually just bought this shock and upcountry spec leaf and coil springs. They work fine, you just don't have quite as much potential downtravel. But unless you have a few other upgrades and do serious offroading you will never notice. After installing the new shocks my jeep rides a lot smoother, I highly recommend them.EDIT for clarity: the coil and leaf springs I just installed bumped me to 2.5 inches above stock height in the front and rear. The shocks work great, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Yes there are spacers for the front and rear of the spring! Leaf Springs are designed to work from both ends.

These springs are three leaf. I put them on my club car, and work just fine for the added fold down rear seat,

No. The factory springs are under sized and relied upon the stock air shocks to help hold the car up. The springs on the Monroe shocks are there to assist the factory springs since they are insufficient to hold up the back of the car on their own.

I would have to say no. These are air shocks that rise when you put air in them, not lower. You want air bags and even then you are going to have to completely modify the spring perches and shock mounts. Don't know exactly how you are going to do that, but lower? Don't think these are what you are looking for...

No they are not cut away for shocks. They may fit behind them depending on the bike

I doubt it. They are design for stock suspension travel. The spring may not extend very well.
