Front shock settings?

I was out on the quad hitting a few jumps and noticed I was starting to bottem out the front shocks when getting anything over 3.5ft to 4ft air. Ilooked at the front shocks and they are set on the softest setting so I moved them up two settings. Does anyone know the spring rates on the warrior? I do mostly fast paced trail riding but love to hit the jumps when I can find them. Do you thing this setting will be good for that kind of riding? I'm still tring to figure out this hole preload thing.

If you want to do any serious jumping, you will have to buy a set of shocks for the fronts that have compression adjustments on them. Triple rate shocks with either piggyback or remote reservoirs.
Preload adjustment sets the shocks for a given body weight. It won't make any noticeable improvement in bottoming out.

Ok, I weigh 165lb so any ideal what preload setting would work best for me on my warrior? Or do I need to adj and ride it until it feels right? I like for it to soak up the little bumps on the trail but don't want it to bottom out on the big jumps, I'll look into a set of Works shocks in the future.

The front shocks on my Warrior are set where yours are. In the middle adjustment. It works good on the jumps now. On the trail I found it was a little rough though. I wish I had turned it back to the softest setting before I went out on the trail but I didn't. It probably corners better on the trail with the middle setting anyway. I'm just going to leave it on the middle setting that way when I come upon that occasional jump I don't have to worry about bottoming out.
