There is no spring preload adjustment on the front shocks, but the rear shock there is. The only thing you can do is put spacers in the front to stiffen it up, but you can't get it lighter.

Rooster, in general you are correct, the only comment I want to make is that adding a spacer does not stiffen the spring it only raises the front end (pre-load) by as much as the spacer thickness. The spring rate remains the same. I believe the scrambler has similar spring options as the SP500 and that is two springs are available one stiffer and one softer than standard.
Hope this is of some help.
