Jim, amazing, mine is 14 1/2" in front and 16 1/2" in back! I was gonna do the same thing, but when I got it out, I just drilled holes above the others for the shock bolt. So I could go back if I needed to. Yours will probably hit the spring. There is a picture of mine with the extra holes drilled in it in your shock thread. Smallblock commented on it in that thread.

In doing what your thinking, it will be level empty, but when loaded with people, the front will be nose up. So I think I would leave it as is.

I wouldn't be going any higher. I think they are at max at 6". When you get these things out going side way on a hill, they get very tippy. I had to hold mine up once out there, had a load of big rocks in the trailer on the back.
