I was looking in the babbits parts on line and looked at the rear and front springs on the pioneer. according to the parts numbers the fronts are the same but the backs are different numbers sort of. This is the part # for the P-2 52400-HL3-A11
This is the P-4 # 52400-HL3-A01 the last two are different. Now my question is this do you think the rear springs are a bit heavier for the P-4 because of the ability to carry people in the rear??

The rear are adjustable as well, but yeah logic would dictate that the 1000 pound load capacity and the extra people would require a heavier setup. Question is will it fit on the front and work with the much lighter front end or would you bend front end components the first hard hit and shocks did not rebound enough because the shocks are too stiff?

Honestly on the lightest setting I would almost bet(someone else's money for rear shocks and possible front end damage) that it would work.

I did look at this but my quick measuring left me understanding the rear shock was shorter then the front. So I did not try to swap them.
