Default Rancher shocks

Man, the ride on my 04 350 is STIFF! Feels like the only suspension I've got is from the tires alone! Any suggestions on shocks that won't cost more than my left nut?

Have you looked at those Perfex suspension kits for about $80? Everyone that has one raves about the smoother ride. HondaPartsWorld carries them.

MolokaiRider,
After getting beat up doing some trail riding today, I ordered the Perfex for my Foreman. After all the rave reviews, I expect a great improvement in ride quality. I hope to get it put in during the 4th of July weekend and plan to test it out from July 10-13. I'll keep you updated if you like.

prong i would appreciate it if you threw me your review too, i end up standing up mostly cus it kills my back, let us know if lowers clearance or cuts down on articulation, because i do very agressive climbs, but i do get sore, let me know please, this is a rancher by the way, pictures would be great too

Perfex review:
I finally got to put the Perfex through the paces this past weekend (7/10-13), and I must say it's worth every penny. I rode through many miles worth of hilly/bumpy pastures and fields and the Perfex soaked it all up. The fatigue and soreness was greatly reduced. For anybody wanting an improvement in ride quality for their honda, I would not hesitate in recommending this product. I do have pics of the install available for anybody that would like to see them.

yes i got them thank you, did you lose any articulation? or ground clearance, it doesn't look it, it seems as though your shocked were moved about a inch up? as to make them more up and down?
