Upgrading Rancher Suspension

Ok, I am looking to upgrade the suspension on my dad's honda rancher. We put the moose 1.5in lift on it and it made it kind of stiff. Is there anything that can be done to improve the suspension?

I know elka makes shocks for it but they are real expensive. Is there any way to use foreman 450 shocks or maybe trx450 shocks?

Let me know.

Thanks

You could maybe use the foreman shocks, but your probably going to have to do some modding to make them fit right.

Are the foreman shocks taller than the ranchers? How would they work with the lift?

Thanks
