how to adjust atv shocks

I have a 2010 Sportsman 850 Touring model. It has a lift kit and 28" tires (came with 30" Gorillas) on 14" wheels. The shocks are currently in the highest pre-set slot. What type tool do I need to adjust them down?
Also, know anyone who wants to buy a barely used set of Gorilla Silverbacks for 14" wheels?

Hey Neal.. what kind of lift kit do you have, i drive a 2010 touring 850 and just installed some 27'' GBC Spartacus with some fender flares and some 1'' spacers, but when i hit some holes in the trails the tires hits the fender flares so i had to ''stiffen'' the suspention when a ride alone ,so that mean that when i'm going to bring someone with me i will have to jack it up to the max,which will be a rough ride
