It would seem that I would need a longer spring with a lesser spring rate so that the ride height would remain where it needs to be. The actual problem is that the length of the shock when extended is longer than the spring when the preload is set for proper ride height. If I fill in the void with additional springing, then the ride height will increase again, which is what I'm trying to avoid. I could always add 200-300lbs of ballast to the rear to hold it down in it's proper position. (just kidding)
