Anyone looked for or found a set of adjustable front shocks yet. Seems like it would be a easy mod. Could even gain a inch in clearance if u found the right size.

If you just want to add preload you could probably make some spring spacers.....

I thought about spacers. I just need a little more preloaded as I have bottomed it out hitting a rut hard.

This is my only gripe about the Pioneer, front suspension is too soft. I took some measurments and it looks like the rear shocks will bolt in on the front. Going to try that when i get some free time, if it works then ill just buy a new set of rear shocks.

I fully agree, the front shocks are the weakest part of the suspension design on the Pioneer. I have bottomed out the front shocks in very minor trail dips. When I had my Polaris RZR (adjustable shocks) it would take a vertical drive off a small cliff to bottom out the front shocks. It would be great to find a Fox (or other high end) adjustable shock for the Pioneer. My sense is we early Pioneer buyers will be drooling over the new 2015 / 2016 Pioneer models that will likely offer better suspension and power. Same thing happens with the other SxS manufactures; every year they keep coming out with more and more features and options. While Honda tends to error on the conservative side (Pioneer), the market is prime for a Honda high performance sport SxS. In the interim, the Pioneer is a very good machine that can be made Great with just a few aftermarket mods.

Has any one just changed the front shocks out for the Fox brand and not the stock back shocks.
