John,
Have your shocks been changed? both the upper and lower spring perches
WILL affect ride height. (yes, BOTH will).
Unless you are trying to achieve a plush comfortable ride I would try
to
avoid lowering the spring rate or cutting the springs. Adjustable perch
shocks would allow you to set the level where you want. (within reason)
