Hey. I have a 2020 Pioneer 1000-3 deluxe with the Fox QS3 shocks. I have a highlifter brack lift and would like to purchase the a arms. Anyone running this setup? Just wondering if they are compatible with the fox shocks. Appreciate any info and pics!

Welcome from Michigan!

I would ditch the lift, buy the arms, and preload the fox’s to get your lift so your geometry of the machine stays correct. If u look, your shocks are almost straight up vertical now.

Yeah. You might be on to something. I was worried about the angles. Also ordered rhino axles

I've installed the arms and QS3 on a 5 seat before with Rhino axles.

Get the Rhino 2.0s if you want to switch axles. They don't have boots for the regular Rhinos. Id stay stock as far as axles go, but that's my opinion.

My 1000-5 has the highlifter arms (front and rear) and their bracket lift on it when I bought it used. Still has the stock shocks.

It really does ride like a brick with this setup.

I blame the stock shocks, and then stack the brackets on it and it changes your geometry for the worse.

Check out my thread, I'm almost done with my suspension upgrade. I'll report back on the improvement after I run it.

So, I have no issues with the highlifter arms themselves, but I think if you want lift it's best to build it into the arms, rather than brackets.

Did you get to experience your ride before and after the brackets? If so, I'd like to hear your report. I've never driven a Pioneer with a stock suspension.

I did, and like u said it rode a brick lol. It was oook on smoother surfaces, but when put it back to normal is when u feel the difference.
