the frt struts are why it is so bouncy. they are a cheap design. and when you remove them, you can easily push them in with your hand

What is the part number on those rancho struts? I can't seem to find them. And why can I only find 2WD leveling kits. Any help?

Post a pic. Is it an HO? If so, expect 14-15 in the city, 18-19 on the highway.

I will try to get a picture soon. As far as the Rancho front struts, could someone post a link. I can seem to find the info. I went on summit racing but they only show through 04.

The front struts are basically junk and don't hold up bouncy and unstable!

Paul_Aris,
Your name seems really familiar. You don't hang out on one of the popular snowmobile boards do you?
