This aftermarket modification comprises a collection of components designed to elevate the chassis of a Honda Rancher 420 all-terrain vehicle relative to its axles. These kits typically include strut spacers, spring compressors, or replacement A-arms that collectively increase ground clearance. A higher ride height enables the vehicle to navigate more challenging terrain, such as deep ruts or large obstacles, with reduced risk of undercarriage damage.
The increased clearance afforded by these systems offers several advantages. It allows for the installation of larger tires, further enhancing off-road capability. A higher stance also improves the approach, departure, and breakover angles of the ATV, essential for traversing uneven landscapes. Historically, enthusiasts have sought such modifications to customize their vehicles for specific recreational or utility applications, such as hunting, farming, or trail riding, where enhanced mobility is paramount.
