P1000 1000-3 vs 1000-5 shocks

[WagginTail]

Are the front shocks the same on the pioneer 1000-3 and the 1000-5? As far as I know only the rears are different

Yes they are the same.

The shock body is the same but it has a different spring rate and I think the spring is shorter.

Thats right dammit!!! The spring rate is slightly different. I font think the spring is shorter? If it is its not by much at all. I forgot. My bad. Sorry @WagginTail

I'm not worried about spring rate. I'm asking because my front fox shocks are still on backorder through Ron Ayers. If the fronts are the same I was gonna see if they could get some for the 1000-3. Different part #s but I figured that was due to spring rate

Dang. There was a guy just bought some from his dealer and had them pretty quick. I think that was in SD though.

Good luck finding them. I had them on backorder since November but called around and finally found one set. I think Fox must be having issues due to the long backlog.

Yep unfortunately but I have a week trip to TN next week and really wanted them and the ew springs so I could get a better ride. My stock deluxe was down to 2in of compression left.
