Over load spring clearance

I've been reading the thread about airbags and learning more as usual. My question is, can a person re-arch the rear spring packs to provide more clearance between the overloads and stops?. Just like the other thread 1" of clearance on the overloads/stops results in the slapping effect when going over bumps Would re-arching the main spring pack provide more clearance meaning a smoother ride? or am I all wet with this idea? Thanks
