You can not.... All you can do with the rear shock is play with the height of it. No spring dampers or tensoners.

the spring should be adustable for pre load only there are two nuts somewhere on the shock body it has been a while since i sold my blaster so i cant really remember, just loosen the second nut and then loosen the first nut(the one closest t the spring) sorry i cant provide somebetter info but it has been awhile since i messed with mine and it is gone now so i have nothing to run look at but i hope that helps u some
