yeah they do but I'm thinking that adjusts just the stiffness not how far the shocks going to travel

The stiffer the ride the less the travel and less sag under a load if that don't fix it get highlights. Coils that will really stiffen it up and reduce travel

I am trying to order new shocks under this site.....     http://www.partforyamaha.com/pages/OemParts?aribrand=YAM         ....but I can't figure out which model my grizzly is oh and I found out its a 2007. I looked up the VIN number on a decoder website and it still doesn't give me the model. Is it YMF7...something. My VIN is JY4AM09Y07C007491. Can somebody help me. Thanks, Tyler

Your Right I couldnt find the Full matching Model # but On cheapcycleparts OEM section all the GRizzly 700 2008 and 2007 models Front shocks and rears are the same
Front Part # 3B4-23350-01-00 $167.30
Rear Part # 3B4-22210-01-00  $ 167.30
The 07 used to be a different Part Number But has been replaced witht the 08 model. Maybe this will help.

When looking up parts on the online micro fiche system. Get the year right and and look up the model with the same engine size. Pick the one with the fewest numbers that will be the basic model all the rest are just the same but with different options like camo or other factory add ons. Hope this make sence.
