P1000 Super atv lift

[twahl]

I installed a 3 inch super atv suspension lift on my pioneer 1000-6 by I'm not too impressed with the ride. It is a lot more stiff now so I'm thinking of ditching it and going with the Rough Country Vertex lift. Anyone done that on here? If so how did it effect the ride and does it reduce the tow capacity? Thanks for your help

Yep. Should have researched on here before you got that bracket lift. Adding better shocks and adjusting the preload is the way to go. No experience with the rough country shocks for me but someone should chime in soon. I have the fox qs3 shocks on my 1000-5 they are huge improvement over stock. Good luck

Exactly What @WagginTail just said.
Lots of threads on this. My lift from yrs ago is still on my bench of Deplorable's.
The RC is the same. Just branded different and variation.
Bracket lifts are a nostalgia, poor mans lift. Changes your suspension geometry making your rig ride rougher and like $hit. Some notice right away some dont till later. Lifts wont change your tow capacity.
So buy the shocks and aftermarket arms like SATV’s and be done with it.
Thanks for adding to the bracket lift failure/unhappiness of threads lol and showing folks what the meaning of Buy once Cry Once means.
Sorry for your woows

Yep, any bracket lift will stiffen the ride. Its great for mud guys and slow cruisers, but its definitely a bit more harsh that sitting at stock height.

Like the guys above said, forward A-arms, bigger tires, and some shock work will help get you more clearance without effecting the ride.

I put a set of Vertex on the front of my pioneer 1000-5, I like them but I didnt buy them for lift, wanted a softer ride. I used the factory preset on preload approximately 2 inches. I like them a lot.

Glad to hear some running the Vertex, I wrote rough country but got to vague of answers. So I went with Fox shocks, I saw a huge difference. Rode same trails, as year before was a great comparison to see difference.
