my suspension knowlege come from the atv and mx field, i have use the elka, wp, fox and walker evans.
i read the book from elka's set up to undestarnt pretty well the suspension funtions and parts.
the closest one of an atv suspension are the icons with their adjustment knobs hi to low comp adjustments

does it come in shmedium?
They are all adjustable. Icons allow adjustment without tools. All should come pretty dialed in from the factory for the best all-around ride.
The FOX 3.0 front shocks are not adjustable.
They are height adjustable.

They are not height adjustable.. You are adjusting the coil spring preload which in turns raises or lowers the front end.

I have only had my Fox 3.0 on for a short time but rides very well on road and they perform great offroad. No adjustments, but I like them just the way they are. The weight load on the front shocks should be pretty consistant on all raptors. The rears are adjustable so you can dial in the rear as to the weight you are carrying offroad.
You say Tomato, I say Tamato.
You are right Greg, by adjusting the preload to the spring you are in effect raising or lower the truck, so technically you are adjusting the height of the vehicle, not the shock itself. But still adjustable non the less.

I think what he was getting at, is that adjusting the pre-load has other intended or sometimes "unintended" results... It's not just the height you're adjusting, it also affects the way the shock behaves and performs.
Stock shocks have the same adjustability of course, but you'll hear many people complain about the top perch! While the height looks cool, it drives like a pogo stick off road! Haha
