Default 07 500 Outlander handling ???

My wifes 500 Outlander, has a differant front supension than my 650. The 650 glides over the big bumps. My wifes 500 bounces around. Any ideas short of getting her a 650. To get her Quad to handle better?

Elka Suspension makes a front spring kit for the Outlander 400-500 struts. New springs with a threaded preload adjuster to allow preload adjustments.

Not sure if this would cure it, but something to look into...

Also, maybe trying different tire pressures might help some...

Yeah, I was thinking less air. But what is in them right now? Too low isn't good either, but I would try for something around 3psi-5psi range. Might not help at all, but who knows.
