If your perch is as low as it can be and you have spacers that take up 1.25" of space when compressed, then you can just eliminate them and move the perch up 1.25" - no change in net ride height. No need for the cost, weight, or complexity of two springs.

Just food for thought.

I presume because it's almost certain a 6" spring will bind. Removing the spring helper would also change the struts operating range... distribution of travel would change to have less rebound and more compression travel. Not sure what the target goal is with the helpers though...
