Since the new R non LV doesn't have any simple way to do that, we need to know - 1. LV or not. I saw that you have a '23 X2, or was is a '24? 2. Is the shock body threaded at the top of the spring with two locking rings?

If the shock body is threaded, you loosen the top one, and tighten the bottom one. Make SURE the threads are clean, once you gall them your life will suck.

Where to measure, look underneath, pick a flat spot, measure. Note that the very rear on a Talon tips up, measure in front of that taper.

Here's where I measured mine in the rear with a 1/2" Trail Armor skid. This was with the preload fully compressed and sacked out tender springs, it's 4" low.

I think the "where" you measure from is less important than being consistent. Find a spot you like front and rear (I like to add a piece of painters tape and mark the height). Remeasure after you do your add ons. I suspect winch/2nd battery and skid plate will have biggest impact.

Do I measure distance on threads or count ring rotations

I thought we were talking about “ride height" (bottom of buggy to ground). Shock preload is thread count or distance from top of spring to top of threaded portion of shock normally for example here is the stock setting on the rear of a R live valve. It’s right 5” from top of spring (not nuts) to top of threads.
