The shock was bottomed out into the lower bracket already. Unlike S-chassis front shocks that can thread through the lower mount, my lower mounts are limited since the shock bolts into the spindle on the bottom, so there's a definitive limit in how much you can screw the shock body into the lower mount.

Another reason would be to lower the car while maintaining desired preload, while not affecting suspension droop.

Yes, this is mainly the reason I did this modification. I didn't like drooping the spring, especially without helper springs, since they would make all sorts of noise whenever the suspension would fully extend. Luckily, I still have a pretty good amount of down travel at my height, so 3 wheeling is not that common.
