Basically they stiffen the suspension by adding preload to your shock absorbing system. If you look at the rear shock when you add preload you are effectively squeezing the spring together. Since the force of a spring is proportional to its displacement you are increasing the rate at which the spring will rebound due to a bump since the spring will add more force since it is compressed more. The preload adjusters on the forks he has effectively do the same thing.
