The fronts are pretty easy to adjust, they have a small preload adjustmen on the bottom of them, just turn the preload to the next higher setting.

The rear isn't quite as easy, but its not really difficult. It has threaded preload and a lock nut. They make a special tool for the locknut, but it isn't absolutely necessary. Just loosen the locknut, adjust the preload, and tighten the locknut again.

you could buy a spanner tool but first just jack up the back of the quad by the grab bar to unload the rear spring...tap the lock loose with a screwdriver then turn the adjuster and the spring (together) with your hands...remember, you won't be turning anything with the quads weight on the spring..
