I can't remember the last year that fit the Pioneer but I'm pretty sure it was several models ago. I looked for a few weeks and came up empty handed. Seemed like everyone who was going to upgrade already did. Therefore not many were floating around.

What other choices do I have other than spending 1000+ on fox

Did you read through this thread? P700 - Pioneer 700 with Can-Am Commander Shocks
If not give it a read.

I wonder how much new commander shocks are from a can-am dealer? Probably cheaper than fox

I'd be looking as well, if it goes to long I'll just purchase Elka fronts.
Although I hit a jump over the weekend and my son said get rears also, as he was in the back seat.

good question, although typically OEM parts cost more than aftermarket

I guess that's not true about suspension after doing a quick eBay search.

Yeah if you're talking oil filters or something then you are right. I want to say the stock front shocks for the 700 are just over $100 each. So if you could get a full set of New commander shocks for 5-600 you're still half the price of Fox, and they'd be new.

Stock Can-Am shocks are $105 each.
Mine came off of a 2011 Commander 800. I just looked them up.

So for $420 you can get a much nicer ride AND over 2" of lift.

I guess the search is on for a set complete with springs.

What all years fit the pioneer? Can am 800? 1000? What years?

When I did a little researching, it looks like you just get the shock cylinder for $105. It doesn't include the spring, retainers and bushings. It was rather confusing but a picture of the shock part number, I found only shows a replacement cylinder. If I am wrong, please let me know.

Man I hate it when I'm wrong. I agree. $105 just gets you the shock. It does not include the spring and retainers etc...
It looks like the parts houses have stopped selling the complete assembly. I'm curious why.

 

[Tflynn]

What is the cost for all necessary parts combined?

 

[tjoreo]

Don't know about the retainers and bushings, but I think the springs were about $50 or so new. Not a deal breaker. There actually looked like there was quite a few of the springs that people have been getting rid of for pretty reasonable an ebay or the commander forums. This might be the better way to go, because I'm wondering if these used shock assemblies are getting quite a few miles on them if they're coming off of 11's and 12's. Just my 2 cents.

 

[Markis02]

Is it only 2011 and 2012? 800s and 1000s?

Take a look at post #44 above. I think it gives pretty good info on what to look for. I believe they are looking from 2011-2015 or so. They also recommend the XT model shocks, versus the standard.
