Reducing travel on a 2017 30 Gold 120 RockShox (Lower crown height)

I've just purchased a 2017 120mm travel RockShox 30 Gold 29". I really need it to be the 80mm version but couldn't find that one and was assured changing the travel would be easy. The mechanics appear to be easy, but determining what specific parts to order is not.
The videos show bottomless tokens which the 30 does not seem to have.
Can anyone enlighten me on what is needed for each leg? Part #'s would be great.

You need travel spacers on the air spring side.

So, Travel spacers only. Got that.
No different airtube/bolt?
There are different part #s for 29" 100mm & 120mm, but nothing for 80mm. Charts in the service manual show that the option exists.0 -
Pages 11, 15 & 16 of the service manual shows that more spacers = less travel
40mm of spacers on a 120mm fork = 80mm travel
Different part numbers on the air spring is for how it's configured with spacers.0 -
Thanks. Parts are on their way.
Any ideas on overhauling a Judy from late 80's?0
