What stroke shock is that? 4.1"?
What it most important is the travel of the shock when its at ride height. If its a 4.1", you want to be close to the center of stroke so ~2" or so either way. Definitely don't want to bottom it out on compression.
If you have enough shock travel at ride height, you can get shorter springs. This will move the spring perch up to allow more adjustment (if you have shock travel of course) They can and will pop out when you raise the car. Not really a big deal as long as they seat back properly when loaded. My rears do that now since going to a high spring rate. I just reach up there and feel with my hand if the spring seated properly when letting it down.
The right way to fix it is move the shock mounts further apart...I know, not as easy.
