    There could be a tool in the tool kit or you'll have to buy one from dealer/bike shop or Fox.

    With the weight of both driver and passenger on the bike, adjust the front shocks to be 420mm (16-17/32") between the upper and lower shock mounting bolts.

    This is one way to look at it. What you are wanting to do is to retain the original ride height with spring preload.

    Do you know which particular Fox shock is on the bike? It was suggested to me to call a dealer and give them my VIN so that they could tell me the exact part number for the shocks. Then call Fox and have them look it up - they will be able to get you the specifications on the shock and give you suggestions for tuning it to suit your ride parameters.
