Desertdog Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I just picked up a 2005 FS2600. It looks like the Rhino is exactly the same height as the bottom of the pull down bed (the handle sticks down farther). I talked to a local guy who makes roll cages 2" shorter. He wants $800.00+ for one. I think I would modify the stock one first. I've heard some people say they will fit(tight). I was going to see how close it is in the morning. I guess you might be able to air down the tires. Thats a pain to do every time. Anybody dealt with this problem? Quote
JRBurn Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) I do not have a Rhino but a Ranger which I think is taller and I have no problems (I have the dual electric beds). Edited April 2, 2007 by JRBurn Quote
Desertdog Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 Your right. The ranger is 2" taller than the rhino. Do you know what your height is floor to bottom of the bed ? Mine is 73". I wonder if they changed height with the model/year difference. Quote
Richard Cheese Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 i have a ranger. i have an attitude with a single pull down back bunk. it fits with like 2 inches to spare. I have no idea why different manufacturers switch around the bed height, especially when dealers cannot keep farm equipment on the showroom floor. maybe the toyhauler R and D teams no peeke engly???

Kens Colors Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 I don't know if this would apply to your situation, but my nieghbor had same issue. But it was the bottom bunk that was the clearance problem and so he just pulled the bottom one out. No more height issue. Quote
high octane junkie Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 i have a 25 foot sierra sport. my rhino clears the bottom bunk with a couple inches to spare. i installed four trailtech hid lights, upside down, so they'd clear goin' in. i have 26" terracross tires, no problem. just some info and idea's. good luck.

1320 Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I can either lower your cage or make you another one. Pm me, as I ve wanted a rhino for that purpose. Quote
the kid with the mohawk helmet Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I know that some people lower all the air outa there tires and they are barley clearing but they have light bars but evan without a light bar they aired out just to have some room to put like a table or something on top snugg against there beds Quote
iweb Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Mine used to barely fit then I installed a roof and it was too high so I just have the wife sit in the back of the Rhino when I load and unload! Her new name is ballast. Quote
MAXDOUT Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 when i bought my rhino, new with a four seater cage it was 73 inch to the top. i was in the same predicament. i then put fox resevior shocks on it and it lowered my ride height to 70.5 inch, also giving my rhino a better ride. i got the shocks from custom motorsports .com. the shocks where bolt on. check it out, maybe that will help.

onefastkawie Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 how about compressing the suspension with some ratchet tie downs Quote
offroadracer Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 how about compressing the suspension with some ratchet tie downs :mischevious: not good for shock valving Quote

White Rhino Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 is there a secret to raise them?? when i hit the switch they go all the way up (electric) then it automatically stops.. Hmm mine I have to hold the switch and I usually only raised them as high the pins, but I now go about 4" higher.. mine doesnt automatically stop? maybe broken or wrong but it works for me Quote
