Drive with a bunch of guys on the weekend and they seem to be tearing them up on 2001, 2002 (x2) and 2006 & 2007 Ranchers.

Just using OEM's now, but is there a front end kit, oversized ball joint, neoprene bushings........etc...????

Since all the snow melted and water is leaving, the trails are getting rocky and think it's taking it toll.

 

Nothing?

 

My bike is 10 years old and sees its share of rough going. I've never had to replace the stock control arm bushings and have replaced only one ball joint since I had the bike. So I'd say the stock parts are pretty decent.

 

Also, if I'm going to smack something hard enough to bend parts, I'd prefer the tie rod bend rather than some frame part...
