P1000 Pioneer 1000 3 forest, front shock replacement only

[Fwood]

Has anyone replaced just the front shocks on their 1000 forest? If so was there any noticeable ride improvement? If so what shocks did you use? I am a new guy with a 2023 forest.

Thanks in advance, Jon

Greetings and welcome to the forums from Michigan.

Depends on how you plan to use it. Around the property/ranch/farm? On the trails and forest?

Fox QS3 are popular (and factor on the Trail and some previous 1000's), but I would put them all all four corners, not just the front. They are adjustable to provide lift to run larger tires/wheels in conjunction with other mods (e.g., SuperATV high clearance forward offset A-Arms).

Better post a welcome post along with pics of that 2023 Forest or the HondaSXS.com sheriff will be along to ticket ya!

Once you change the front shocks you will want the rears very shortly after. Been there done that

I did search, I didn’t see what I was looking for. Maybe I missed it. That’s why I asked.

P1000 - Only doing front shocks on 1000-3?

Hi. New member, owner. Just purchased a new 2018 1000-3 EPS, Honda roof, Warn winch, Honda LED headlights. I know the 1000-3 doesn’t have the load leveling rears that the 5 has, but should I replace all four shocks or just the fronts? We will use it around the yard for landscaping stuff and...

Lol, I posted one for ya. Just type “Front shocks only” up top. There are 10 pages of threads. You have to read them or just a few to see what your looking for. Most of them are not going to just pop out at ya, you have to read. Your new so u dont know. Shocks and tires are a hot topic here, alot of the same questions over the last 10yrs on the subjects.
All that is stored in the search. People hate when we say that, but the facts speak for themselves and we are nice about it imo, should see it on other forums. If your stuck just ask like you fid and we will be glad to help.
