And you can see the difference in the extended length of the new shocks there, compared to stock...

Yup, original springs, not much settling to be expected there for sure. One area where it might settle a tiny bit is that there was a permanent indentation in the rubber spring isolator under the mount from the spring end. I rotated the isolator so that a undented portion was now under the spring end, but the indentation was no more than about 1/8". So not much to be gained there.
Good news is that if/when I decide to use a smaller spacer, I won't have to undo the spring from the shock, just drop the whole assembly and slide in a new spacer. I can almost do that with my eyes closed now.
