Selected

front and rear shock absorbers with pre-adjusted [spring] load

Shouldn't matter which type of vehicle it is as long as it has front and rear wheels
Peer comment(s):

disagree Richard Benham : The preload is adjustable; there is no mention of any preadjustment of anything.

preload adjustment / adjustable preload

Preload refers to the compression put on the shock-absorber springs. In some vehicles, this is adjustable.

adjustable-load shock absorbers, to the front and back

Thanks, Richard, the hyphen idea is good too. So ultimately it should be front and rear preload-adjustable shock absorbers.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Richard Benham : It is the preload that is adjustable.//I like your new suggestion, but I'd hyphenate "preload-adjustable".

Yes, the shock absorbers have a preload adjustment mechanism-adjustable load or preload shock absorbers-because we are talking about the shock absorbers
