Changing from spacer to springs to smooth the ride

[wade193]

I have bilstein adjustable struts in the front with the factory springs. I wanted to get almost the maximum lift out of it, but the front end became rock hard due to the compression. So i dropped the clips down and added a spacer to level it out. But it was only a temporary solution and I don't want that set up anymore. I'm ready to upgrade, so, what's the best way to solve it? Shorter springs? progressive spring rate?

Anyone been in my position and got the result they wanted first go?

Thanks in advance.
