Default 400ex front shocks upgrade and adjustment?

I just bought a set of 450r shocks. I've read the forums about how to install them. My question is if your a bigger guy why would have to get them revalved and sprung if the shocks are stiff? Second question i read that if you don't adjust the ride height on the 450r shocks you will wear out your ball joints quicker is that true? if so how do you adjust the height of the shock? by just screwing done the collar on the shock?
