Had the shock tightened all the way up

Hey guess finnally went and had the shock tightened all the way up and the rebound turned all the way up. I weigh bout 320 man is the ride stiff, wew lol. It rubbed a little before I did this. It made the front look lower, is this how it should feel?

Unfortunately cranking the preload up will make the suspension harsh. At 320 with that stretch I think the only answer is getting a new spring or new shock that's up to the task.

I think you might want to crank the compression dampening up not the rebound ?

Going up on the preload will make the shock "springyer", so going up on rebound with going up on the preload makes sense. You can up the compression but then the ride will be super hard. This is a potentially dangerous situation to run hard with the shock so out of wack.
