i know the stock shocks suck.. and suck even more for abigger rider.. but im surious to the adjustments on them... where should i set the fronts and where should i set the rear for 'proper' pre load on it?? ima big guy 255, so i know i should really upgrade to better shocks but funds dont alow this right now.
 
Im not sure what ox had his shocks set at but I got them from him an bolted them on my bike and they are stiff as all hell. So if you dont have a shock wrench maybe ill trade you shocks or at least you can try them and see how you like stiff fronts cause I hate them. We'll do it when we ride, it only take 5 min. to swap shocks so itll be easy at least.
 
you can use a big pair of channel locks to do the fronts there easily turned thats what i did, the highest notch is the softest setting and vice versa
