An aftermarket modification designed to increase the ground clearance of a Honda Rancher 420 all-terrain vehicle. It typically involves installing spacers or modified suspension components to raise the vehicle’s frame relative to the axles. For example, a two-inch modification raises the vehicle’s frame two inches higher off the ground than its stock configuration.
Increased ground clearance offers several advantages for ATV users. It allows the vehicle to traverse more challenging terrain, such as rocks, logs, and deep mud, without the frame or undercarriage scraping or becoming stuck. This enhancement can improve off-road performance, extend the vehicle’s usability, and potentially prevent damage to vulnerable components. Historically, such modifications have been popular among off-road enthusiasts seeking to enhance the capabilities of their machines.
