Is that the rear spring settler on the ground behind the car?

I just came back from a little drive the rear has setlled

Here you can see the shock with the cup that holds the spring. The cup is held in place by a clip. Just below the cup you can see a grove which is the lowest setting.

It is now at the higest setting. So all i did was force the cup higer & moved the circlip to the highest setting. To lever it I used the handle from the sledge hammer. Rather than taking out the whole shock , take the spring off , move the circlip & then put it all together again.

so this is how it now looks with the suspension settled back into place. Thats about 8mm extra travel before it starts to hit the bumpstops.

It may be just my mind but I did the front a few months ago. so maybe I aslo mucked about a little with the ballance of the whole car.

It appeared a little more stable even though its now higher but its defenatley a little better over big bumps
