In your case the front spring eye. Without lowering or lengthening that point you can not reduce separation. Lowering the car will lower this point to the ground. But this is not a total cure as the center of gravity is now lower as well. The front eye mount needs to come down, NOT UP. Your only other alternative is to tighten the rebound slowing the separation. At this point air pressure and shock adjustments are a crutch to try and correct a instant center location that is to high and shocks topped out in rebound.

When you say separating more than it needs to ? Do you mean how far the body is moving away from the wheels ?

The shocks are longer than the old shocks , both front and rear.

Rear axel hanging The shocks are about 1.5 “ longer.

When you say front eye mount needs to come down. You mean move it to one of the holes closer to the ground, further from the body?
Right now it is in the highest hole closest to the body.
If I move it farther from the body it will raise the rear of the car more . Correct?

Also that vid is maxed out on rear rebound and compression adjustment

Front is maxed out rebound adjustment and about half way on compression

Thanks for the opinion
