How does it ride now ? Mine is way smoother.

[SevereTrauma]

I haven't taken it out yet. Sadly I don't think I will be able to for a few weeks.

Finally got to ride it today. So much nicer than the stock "shock" if you can even call them that. Thanks for posting this mod.

I did the dual shock mod on my Rhino. Huge difference. A word of caution, on the Rhino, you cannot insert a 4 1/2 inch bolt due to the sprocket on 1 side and the brake disk on the other. I solved it by using a bolt coupler in place of the spacer in the middle and a 2 1/2 inch bolt on the side with the sleeve spacer and 1 1/2 inch on the sprocket side. I also put an additional washer on both sides of the coupler in the middle so it would not pull through the mounts.

Here is a picture with the washers in red, the coupler is blue and the spacer in orange.

Here is a picture of it completed. The blue lines are showing that you cannot put a 4.5" bolt in from either side, thus the reason for the coupler and the 1.5" bolt on the left side, and the 2.5" bolt on the right.
