If you have a stock shock, they are not adjustable for length on a curvy, if you have threads visible on the shock mounting points it's not a stock shock and is adjustable for length.

The preload on the spring is set by the rider, there's a stepped adjuster that rotates around the body of the shock that compresses the spring. Normally it's left in the middle setting, As you compress the spring the bike sits slightly lower and the ride becomes slightly more harsh.
