2008 Rancher 4X4 Rear Shock Replacement

Recommended Posts

Putting High Lifter springs on the front shocks, need a whole new assembly on the rear. What do you recommend?

Some people report positively on the Bronco shocks.  I think were it me I'd try to find an OEM adjustable shock from another Honda.  I know the later OBS 420's had adjustable fronts on them.  Don't know if the rears on the 2012-2013 were perhaps adjustable.

OEM is too soft, need something a bit stiffer…

 

Guessing Highlifter doesn't make a spring for that shock?

They do have a Bronco, almost $200 with shipping! Says May be 10% stiffer

Well, High Lifter sent out a code for 15% off (END22). The Bronco is ordered (183-04259) fits the medium sized frame Rancher 420 SRA. Sometime this Spring I’ll put the Highlifter springs on the front and the Bronco on the rear. Hopefully that will take the mush out of the suspension…

Ended up replacing all the shocks with broncos, definitely a stiffer ride…probably a good idea to just go with the gas shocks all the way around, instead of mixing with oil dampened…
