Lots of us have put rear spacers in. David Marshall even sold them and
maybe still does.

The spacers go above the spring, between the body and the shaped plastic
spring seat piece. I and many others have cut spacers from a white
plastic cutting board. Use the above mention spring seat as a pattern.
Don't forget to completely release the parking brake when lowering the
control arm to get the spring out and back in.
