In an ideal world, you'd just undo the lock nut on the bottom of the shock, and then adjust the shock length in situ. You can do this on most bikes.

If I were to engineer a solution it would be to figure out a tool to get to those nuts. Rick’s manky wrenches and spaced out dog bones IMHO is the better solution
 
Or just get Motospec and you’d have the linkage curve and know how shock length equates to ride height. This separates the ride height from the linkage curve.

If the linkage is progressive and you adjust these dog bones you’ll be messing up the suspension kinematics. You’ll be starting suspension travel at a different point in the linkage curve as you adjust ride height

just to clarify you are saying all this ..........yet dont know how to change a fork spring? (see other thread) keeping it real....aih!

ideally once you've fitted all those flat washers...

Don’t know how doesn’t mean I can’t do it but yeah good cogent and relevant argument.

I’ve just never done it before. Sounds like I just need the right tools. Nbd. You don’t hear me trying to make my own fork springs.

You don’t need to make your own fork springs as they are infinitely adjustable already .. poor example!
 
Linearly progressive? Could be a thing if the rate of change of K is linear...... 🤔

put the linear bit on the small part of the travel he is using with his sag setting, and the progressive bit under that... might encourage the fork to travel further in the parallelogram?
