On the bottom of the shock near the shock mount there is a small adjustment screw. Flathead screw, just above it there is an "H" for harder, turn it that way, or a "S" for softer, turn it that way. I believe there's also one on top by the top shock mount but I can't remember exactly.

Blaster2fast , what is your rear shock doing ? It would be easier to help you adjust if you explanned what it is doing or what you want it to do .

Here is a link for adjusting shock adjusting

If you do a lot of jumping I would highly recommend changing the fronts , the rear once adjusted should be fine .
I do a lot of jumping and have never had a prob with the rear ( I weigh 165 ) , it was the fronts that would always bottom out , even on the hardest setting.
