Hi all! Happy i found this group. Ive got a marathon cart that im lifting 5 inches. The rear is straight forward, leaf springs and shocks. Not a problem. The front however only has a single leaf spring that spans the width of the buggy and no shocks. What do i have and what do i need to lift this type of front end? Any idea of the year? Im having problems figuring out the year. I cant find any information on this type of front end. Please help! Thank you!

Thank you for the response! This is the kit i have. Like i said this fits the rear suspension just fine . The problem im having is the front suspension is completely different from what everything else is telling me. The front has 1 leaf spring that runs the width of the front axel assembly and no shocks! Every description is telling me its a 75-93 model but the front suspension is completely different. Everything shows front leafsprings (2) running front to back with shocks. This is where im lost.

YOU HAVE A X440 WITH THE 4 WHEELS
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ONE BEING LIFTED
not saying it can't be done
I WOULD LOOK FOR A CART YOU CAN LIFT

i too have done some research and find you have a 1986 X440 E
yes the year is the last numbers of the serial number
now The crazy part ... the three Leaf Front Spring front spring is 72 ~78 ONLY
the Melex has the same front spring
i think someone changed it from 86 to78
is this your wiring diagram ?
