P1000 Wanting to order some shocks?

[Bradley-Thornton]

I have 814s and ready to upgrade maybe get a Labor Day sale?

Front and back any and all help would be great.

Budget don't really have one but I don't really want to just waist money.

Softer the ride the better.

My type of riding, Its street legal, Rock crawling thats about it.

Has C-Fab arms and 32s.

(FYI) I'll let the 814s go cheap if anyone is interested. You pick them up in MS and they go real cheap lol.

I am not sure of any sales on the shocks but someone else might chime in with some information. In the mean time here are a couple ways to get a good fox shock price.

P1000 - Fox shocks good price

P1000m5 - Fox shocks: Guidance on a good purchase I made

I just purchased these for my 2020 pioneer 1000-5 and as far as I know they should fit and work well just the rate is different from the 3 seater to the 5 seater. I plan on changing springs either way if I had I purchased new or not. These are supposed to be new open box. I made an offer of $900...

As of 8-2-22 @ 5:18AM central the ebay seller in the second link does not currently have any shocks for the pioneer in stock but I have seen him come back into stock from time to time.

If you're running 32s, I'd guess you've got a lot of preload on those 814s?

One thought on the Fox - if you're going to preload them for lift, you're going to want to go to single rate springs, so add another $300-350 right off the bat.

If I were to do over again, I'd have another look at the Elkas with this factor in mind.

I'm looking hard at the Elks 3 or 4s. May call them if they can build them as per my setup that will be my plan I think.

C-Fab comes with 3in of built in lift I'm sure thats the hardest part to overcome. I can do most anything but shocks is where I get lost.

Which spring are you running with the 814s? No matter which shock you have you need the right spring for your vehicle load to have a good ride. For ease of adjustment, soft, medium, hard on the Fox shocks is the quickest "feel a change" for setting up. With Elkas or 814s you're likely going to change compression and rebound to fit how you want the machine to handle on rocks, rough terrain or pavement. I rarely adjust my Elkas and they ride a ton better than stock but there are still jarring bumps off road and there's still sway and body roll at high speed on pavement.

It might be worth calling 814 and getting a different spring before you spend all the money on another set of shocks. Having had stock shocks, Fox shocks and Elka stage 4s the Elkas definitely have the best ride all around but if I would have swapped to the correct rate springs on the Fox shocks I'd probably appreciate the quick flip of adjustment more than the compromise all the time. Just my $.02.

Another thing to consider is tire pressure it'll change ride nearly as much as a quick shock adjustment

What kind of a change are you looking for?

I saw these at a dealership few days ago. Not sure if it's a good deal or not.(probably not) but they was available.

So I hated the 814s Offroad due to hitting the straps all the time.

I really like the idea of Fox shocks and change springs. Is there a guy or website I can call and say I have this bike this weight and this lift and they help me with correct springs?

Thats what I like about Elka at least I can tell them what I have and they build it off that. But I would much rather have fox easy adjustment.

maybe get a Labor Day sale?

I'm looking hard at the Elks 3 or 4s.

🤣 Get that out of your mind. Never seen that happen. Just find what you want and hope there available to purchase in a reasonable amount of time
