Double nut the top to hold it for the die. Interesting idea and might work. My solution was short throw shocks with internal strut bushings. No need to raise the spindles.
If you lower the body of the car in any way, you are lowering the roll center unless you also raise the spindles. The last time I checked, the control arms are attached to the bottom of the chassis. So, if you are lowering the car by shortening the dampers, you still need to raise the spindles....
