Incline bench
Lat pulldown
Shoulder press
Abs

Workout 2
Deadlift
Dips
BB Row
Shoulder press
Abs

If you completely stop doing front squats and only do box squats, of course your front squats are going to suffer. Front squats are great at working the quads more, although your hams glutes hips spinal erectors and abs will still be worked. You won't be using your quads nearly as much with box squats.

Box squats are typically used by powerlifters as they greatly improve your squats, AND deadlifts. I don't know why you care about how much weight you can do with front squats, but if it's important to you then I would continue to do them at least once per week.
