I would recommend you to keep all metrics numbers the same (as it was
already described here, if you change it, it should be changed in each and
every router in your network). If you need to send router over one link,
while keep other as a backup, just use the "bandwidth" command on the
interface you would make "less preferred".
You can use the command "show ip eigrp topology <network> <mask> to see
which routes available to the destination network, and what metrics are for
each link. Then you go to one of the interfaces, and change the bandwidth to
a value less than real. For example, if you have a 1 Gigabit interface,
adding the command "bandwidth 800000" will increase metrics for the route.
Then you may clear your routing table (cle ip route *), and issue the same
command "show ip eigrp topology <network> <mask> and see how your preference
changed.
Good luck,
