ok, the shock is rebound, compression, and preload adjustable.
Compression- how stiff or soft the shock is ( bottom out resistence)
Rebound - How quick the shock returns to its normal position after being compressed
Preload- Used to adjust the ride height and can also stiffen the shock, but will cause less comfortable ride
Compression is adjusted by turning the little flathead screw on the resivor
Reboung is adjusted on the bottom of the shock, also a flathead
Preload is adjusted on top of the springs. You must loosen the top ring, then either unscrew the bottom ring (lowers ride height) or screw the bottom ring down (raises ride height).
Whatever you do, DO NOT mess with the bolt that connect the hose to the shock.
