P1000 1000-5 LE Fox Shock Adjustment

[HunterCollins1996]

I have a 2017 Pioneer 1000-5 Limited Edition with the CFAB A-Arms on it. I was wondering if anyone has messed with adjusting the shocks as far as turning the nuts down to get a little more ground clearance out of it. I'm not worried about getting a lot, just interested in getting a inch or two. I do not want to add a bracket lift to do so. Anyways i know not to run them down all the way but I want to know if anyone has done this and had any issues do so. Only thing I'm really worried about is putting the stock axles in a bind???? Any info will be appreciated!!

The more you crank on them the stiffer the ride will be. If you don't care about the ride quality, crank away.

How are those CFab arms doing on your limited? I have a limited as well but everyone is saying don't do it because of axle length, so I'm kind of curious on how your experience has been. Thanks in advance!

I have not had any issues with mine. I did break a heim joint once, but that was my fault. I havent had any issues with my axles because of the a arms either, overall they have been great!

Good deal, I’m probably going to go for it. I really appreciate it! 👍🏻

I just turned mine down 1" last weekend. I'm very happy with the height I gained. I'm in Maine so I do mostly woods riding. The extra height helps. It changed the angle of my wheel a bit. Now the tops of the tire tilt in slightly. It's not noticeable in the front but looking straight on from the rear you can see it. I didn't take ground measurements before I did it but it looks to be about a 2" gain in height.

This is what she looks like turning the springs down 1 inch
