I am thinking about aftermarket shocks for my 700/2. I have P1000 shocks on front and spring spacers on rear now. If I go with aftermarket P700 shocks I would assume I'll lose my lift! If that's the case can I put aftermarket P1000 shocks on and retain my lift? If not what is best way to get my 2-2.5" lift back? Thanks in Advance!

Assuming you want aftermarket shocks for a better ride? Trying to keep that much lift using spacers and bigger springs is what's attributing to the bad ride. I'm sure somebody is making some arms for the 700? Bigger tires is the best way to achieve the lift. Not only will it ride better but it'll feel much more controlled. Go for something light so you don't kill your power.

SuperATV makes a arms for the 700. Get those, some fox shocks and some bigger tires.

You could also do the Commander shocks. I think they give you 2.5" of lift and a better ride. If you can't find used shocks then you might could buy new ones from a Can-Am dealer.
Search for it on here. I had the thread saved but I can't find it now. Rb3offroad.com sells the bushings to make them work on the 700.

The superatv a arms are only high clearance. Not forward offset like for the 1000.

I have p1000 shocks on front now and spacers on stock rear shocks. This setup gave me about 2.5" of lift. If I switch to an aftermarket market shock I'll lose my 2.5" lift and I don't want to. I have 27" tires now. Just looking for a better ride.
