You could forget the spacer and run the adjustment nut down further, unless you run out of thread. It all depends on the spring rate and loads needed. A 150# spring will be compressed 4 to 5" at ride height, depending on chassis. If you want 150# extended load, it's still compressed 1". In this example, any spring with 5" of travel before coil bind, in a 150# rate, will feel the same on the car.
