{Chrysler 300} C300 rear ride height with the trunk loaded

[<jackcboyle@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am now in 3^rd year of my completed C300 Restoration.

 

I had the rear springs checked and tweaked about 4 years ago and the ride height 2 years ago was perfect with the trunk empty based on benchmarks from several restored and original cars.

 

Now going on 3 years since the springs were done and now loading the trunk for shows including: detailing supplies, luggage, spare parts, popup tent, other passengers in the back seat, etc, etc. the rear ride height is about ¾” lower than with an empty trunk.

 

So here is my question – is there an available modern spring overload shock that is neutral until you begin to load up the trunk?

 

Manufacturer and part number?  Other ideas short of taking the springs which would likely make it too high when empty.
