Raising or lowering the spring adjuster didn't change the amount the spring is compressed, it just lowers the car a bit, and add to the amount they can extend on launch. With the shock travel almost dead in the middle at rest, I was looking to gain all I could so the shocks don't get fully extended at the hit.
Myself I would go with just a bit lighter spring(I
assume from what you said you have the spring adjusters
at the bottom) and your correct.. move the shock mount to
change the height... being a ladder bar try lowering the
shaft itself a bit for more travel... but you need good
shocks for any ladder bar.... from the numbers you said your
close to being in the middle of the travel... the lighter springs
should help lower the shaft some
