Default Suggestions needed for stiffer shocks on my Rancher

I purchased a rear drop down rack and feel it sags the back end of my Rancher. Having zero knowledge of options can you guys offer suggestion on decent shocks to replace my stock pair to improve my problem. Thanks.

I have never heard of a Honda utility needing stiffer shocks! They are one of the roughest riding quads around. You probably need new springs as that is what sets your ride height, not your shocks. The shocks are just there to absorb sudden bumps and control sudden suspension travel changes. Eitheir new or upgraded springs, or spring spacers will help your Saggy A$$ problem!! Sorry, I don't know where to purchase any though. Or if they are adjustable, you can raise the rear height by increasing your spring tension.
