Lower the crawler.

Just use however much you want it to be lowered. If you want a quarter inch lower then make them a quarter inch. That is if you are using them to restrict the shocks. Push the rig down to the height you want and measure the shock. Then you know how short you want it to end up
Wait ... before you go throwing internal limiters and jacking the preload on tose springs lets look at couple other things.
How long are your shocks? Those are Traxxas bog bores but are they the 4'' bodies or the 3.5'' bodies? You have the cap mod done but how big are your cap side ball ends?
Whats your ride height now? Whats your wheel base at normal ride and when you fully compress?
Little more info before you jump in can help. If you limit those shocks internally then its gonna put pre load on those little springs and cause other problems.

Your shocks look like they might be too long. The chassis is best with a 3.5" shock, or even a 3" rear shock with the shock arms in the low position "thumbsup"
