[DeTomaso] Shorter front shocks?

Reduce the extension of the shock, assuming you can open it up and put in a spacer of some sort? So the shorter spring doesn't come loose.

Because the spring becomes loose between the perches when the car is un-weighted (like going over a hills peak or a speed bump)...

Why not a shorter spring of the same rate?

Has anyone done an analysis of the viability of running a bit shorter
front shocks? With the typical length front shocks, and springs on the
heavy side, it appears that the nose is a bit higher than I want at the
lowest spring position. I could probably use lighter springs adjusted
for the desired height, but I'm not sure that is a good solution.
