The ride will not be harsh per say as you are still using the same spring rate.. if anything, it’s going to get you back to not feeling too soft from the weight you added. A custom spring that’s stiffer would be your option if you don’t like the idea of “preloading”, but will be stiff and “harsh”.
Don’t open those new spacers.

I think DevBot purchased top strut spacers which go between the strut and the frame mounting point so that won't change the spring pre load any. You're thinking of a coil spring spacer/isolator that goes between the coil spring and the top mounting plate.
