Are the springs leaf or coil?

If leaf you might try removing one of the leaves and/or replacing that leaf 
with one from the old spring pack.   ( For height adjustment. try one of the 
upper leaves) 

If coil cutting a coil off is a option that "works" but isn't always 
recommended.  Some springs are designed on the edge of the limits and removing 
coils 
can stress them causing a failure.

Cutting 1/2 of a coil wouldn't be a problem and might trim the ride to your 
liking.

As others have said, if the springs are good quality they won't settle.
