Default Rear ride height question.

To lower the rear end , there are longer bolts available through various vendors. Ok, well l noticed while the z was up on the hoist yesterday that there is approx 1 inch of useable thread left below the split pin currently. Would re-drilling split pin hole and winding down the nut to the bottom of the bolt achieve any noticeable difference. If so approx how much? Would it be by the amount the nut was wound down? Apologies if this is a dumb question, but if you don’t ask you’ll never know.

Just installed SuperPro bushings on my 94. Ride and handling are much improved. You will be impressed.
