i want to make it stiffer theres a jump at winchester speedpark that doesnt have a very big landing and im always bottoming out on it. its not really made for 4 wheelers theres only 2 quads that do it a custom walsh quad and me

Crank up the spring preload and compression. If that is not enough, revalve/respring it. Many places do this to the stock shock from anywhere from $175 - $350 depending on what's done (main diff in price is if you need a new spring and/or ZPS setup). Next step beyong that is an aftermarket shock. I would give the spring preload and compression thing a shot for sure before I spent $$$!

The spring preload is really tight already. so the compression thing needs adjusting but what and where and how do i adjust it.

Above the shock tower and below the shock tower are 2 brass (looking) screws. You can adjust these with a flathead screwdriver.
