Need help with my shocks

[mbogosia]

I am trying to figure out if the shocks on my warrior are stock or aftermarket. On the first pic of my rear shock I noticed this small phillips head screw at the base. I also included 2 pics of the front shocks. Let me know what you guys think.

I am wondering and hoping that the screw is for rebound adjustment.

Fronts are definitely stock. Need a better pic of the rear in order to tell what it is.

yeah deff fronts are stock. idk about the backs but ive seen that screw before i think they are stock.

I pulled out my service manual and they are all stock. But that screw is a rebound adjustment so thats cool. At least I have some adjustability. It was almost all the way clockwise. The standard is 12 clicks from that. There are 20 adjustment points all together.

Okay guys, I need suggestioins. The previous owner had the rear shock as soft as possible with no preload. He then had the front set almost to as stiff as possible. What does a set up like this do to steering, feel, etc... It felt okay yesterday, but this is my first 4 wheeler so I wouldn't no the difference.

Just keep adjusting it until your comfortable with it.

I am going to start out with everything at the midpoint and go from there. At leats I already know how one setup feels from my ridiing with it yesterday. I'll have to just keep trying until I find that sweet spot.
