I'm fairly certain you can go as much as 1/2" Shorter than the original dog bones, which would probably raise the seat by 2" or so....
i think for your use I would go with the ADJUSTABLE lowering kit ( that's what they call it on Amazon) and instead of making them longer than the stock bones like I did, you could make them shorter .... but you may have to grind off the ends of the turnbuckles to get the height you really want !
I bet you could get 3" rise of the seat by doing that !
....it would be really stiff though... REALLY STIFF !!!!

Yes, agreed. Since this is on a budget I will probably just minimize preload to counter this unless I can think of any other ideas. I won't be looking for 3 inches as beach sand and soft soil prefers rear sag.
