Sounds strange I know. But the rear end seems to bounce quite a bit while going down the road. It seems to do better if I have weight on the back. The cart is lifted and has bigger tires on it, but it does'nt seem to be the tires. Should I rotate them to see if it changes anything? Or could it be the suspension?

Sounds like a tire. Has the cart been sitting a while. Sometime the tires can get flat spots from sitting but will usually smooth out after driving a while. Jack the cart up spin each tire and look for flat spots or out of round.
What kind of tires are they? How much air pressure are you running in them?
 
I would have to get the tire info. later. I bought the cart in Sep. and since then I run it about every day. There are no flat spots, but the tires are like knobi type for mud or dirt it looks like. I know the pressue is good, don't remember what I had them at, whatever it said on the side of the tire.
 
Normally you need to run more air pressure on the off road tires if you're using them on the street. Try running about 16 lbs in the rear and 12 lbs in the front and see if that helps.
 
Nope didn't help. I was running 16 lbs. on all four so I dropped the front to 12 lbs. and still have the same problem. This weekend I will rotate the tires and see if it changes anything. If not i'm sure i'll be back here looking for some help.

i would set it on jack stands over night and try it, just to make sure its not flat spots from sitting. i had a set of tires do that and it would take a few miles to work out

yes, sometimes the weight of the cart will push a flat spot in the tires like the bias ply tires did on cars in the 70's. just sayin' its free and easy to try.
 
Spin the tire while in the air. Lots of new tires are out of round 'cause they pull them from the molds 2 soon. Sometimes the bead isn't seated correctly, check the line on the side wall of the tire and make sure it is the same all the way around the rim.
