just a word of caution for Rhino owners. Be sure to check the mounting bolts for the rear end and the front diff. If they get loose, it will break the mounting brackets and supporting frame members. I have read where some of the mounting bolts are too long and even though they feel like they are tight, they are actually just running out of threads. An easy way to check the tightness is to apply the hand brake and rock the Rhino back and forth. If the rear end is loose you can see it move up and down.

smiliezood3 I wish I would have known this. My dads rhino has this problem.MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE BOLTS. It broke the frame where the rear dif mount is located. The constant movement twisted the tube and broke. Did not notice until there was a real bad binding, like the gears were locking up, due to the drive shaft(with no u-joints) binding, when the dif rotated.
