No offense intended, but I'd suggest that you don't turn right while going fast with two people on the Rancher.

I got to thinking about my reply, and thought I should have answered the question, and have gone into a bit more depth...

More air pressure might help, as the tires won't bulge as much, but don't exceed their max PSI. Other than that I believe HighLifter makes stouter aftermarket springs for your machine.

That being said, riding two up on a machine that isn't designed for it greatly increases your chances of a crash and of someone getting hurt or killed. The weight is more than the machine was built to carry, and the passenger's weight is too far back.

I'm no saint, and have ridden two up in a pinch, but always slowly and carefully and both wearing helmets. Going fast around a corner like that is really asking for it.

No one wants to see you or your passenger get hurt. We don't need a "now my buddy has to steer his wheel chair by blowing in a straw and I feel kind of bad" type thread, and we sure don't need a "My precious little Johnny got killed on an ATV. They ought to be banned and I'm suing" kind of news articles.


Bottom line: There are inherent dangers to riding ATV's, but if you use your head you can minimize the risks and still have a great time. I'd recommend you don't ride two up on the 350, but if you do in an emergency or something ride slowly and extra careful.

If you don't mind a stiff suspension, the High Lifter springs are very good. I've had mine on for about 2 years now and they've done really well. They really help with additional weight on the rear of the machine when I haul stuff around. I highly recommend the spring compression tool they sell to make getting your old springs off and the new ones on. I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.
