buy an aftermarket shock with a duel spring setup.

they squat really nicely then without losing travel

If you are under about 65kg you might be able to wind the pre-load adusting nuts up nearly to the top.
Watch the reservior hose fiting for clearance as you get the nuts close to the top.

If you are over 70kg, you have quite a few options.
A lot can be done with servicing adjustments and valve re-shiming if you are only 10 or maybe 20kg heavier (depending on your type of riding), or,
You could replace the standard dual rate single spring with a heavier single rate spring and run zero preload which might enable you to lower the rear about an inch and still give better bottom out protection, or,
You could go to a dual rate set up which may give you another inch lower again.

You'll need to talk to Adam from QuadSquad to sharpen your selection, and ask about all the diferent valving options that are possible to.
Adam has a lot of options that make a big diference.
