Fox shox

Hey guys, I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the fox suspension kit for the pioneer. Anyone else running these shocks? I'd like to hear some feedback before dropping $1300 on them. A couple times trail riding I have bottomed the front end HARD on stuff i didnt think was to bad and I would like to improve/smooth out the ride a bit. Think this is the way to go?

Thanks for your thoughts. I made the plunge today and ordered the set, they should be here Friday hopefully! This will be a long week!

And no, you cannot buy just the fronts as far as I know. You can only buy the set of all four

I will take before and after measurements and try to give an in depth review after I get some ride time with them

I told the wife after the shocks are installed we are going for a ride either in the mountains around Truckee or the desert outside of Reno. At the very least ill do a lap around the ranch to check fences so ill have some good feedback for everybody soon! Hope there are no shipping glitches that delay arrival...

Got the shocks installed on Friday and they are great! The most noticeable difference is how they handle the big hits. I was not able to bottom them out, and I tried. So nice to not have to worry about whether or not you will be able to handle a bump while driving down the trail! A couple of other things of note-

While the fox shox are the exact same length as the stockers, they do provide a slight amount of lift. I took a stock measurement and then a measurement with new shocks installed, then another measurement after riding with them for a couple days. With the way they are set from the factory they give you just under an inch in the rear and slightly less in the front. However the shocks are fully adjustable so if you wanted to you could keep the stock ride height or lift the pioneer an inch or more.

The front shocks go on really easy, for the rears I had to remove the sway bar and its still kind of tough to get them in but once in place they look and fit great

This probably goes without saying but the fit and finish of the shocks is really top notch. These things are pretty!


Well that's my impression of the fox suspension kit. If anyone is considering buying these and has any questions ill be glad to help you if I can

Sweet! I want to hear what you think of them and also how you set them up. I don't know much about setting up suspension on a UTV so I'm interested to hear what others have done

I think you'll be happy. I was playing with my clickers yesterday and realized mine shipped from the factory 5 clicks out. I put them at 12 now not too much difference but they still ride great
