<body>Is there a standard tool you use to release the spring pressure in order
to adjust the front shock pre-load?

Yes, there are tools to adjust the front suspension pre-load. Try calling your dealer, otherwise White Bros. or Motion Pro will probably have them. They are real handy and don't scratch the shock. Vice-grips work, but make sure they don't slip. Otherwise, you will scratch the shock and be mad at yourself.

ScoobyDFW ,
Don't you have a pair of 12" Channel Locks in your tool kit? If not, get a pair & you'll find a lot of other uses for them as well.Wrap a cloth around the adjusters to protect the chrome.
