Default Koni spring perch question

Those of you how are familiar with Koni shocks, I'm trying to raise it up the car by one notch or perch. I can do it for the front shocks because the spring isn't compressed. (springs are short).

But the back shocks are compressed to the perches. How do I decompress those springs without taking it apart?

Please don't flame when I say this..... can I use a spring compressor? Or is that just used only to remove the springs? Thanks guys

with the car still on the ground, take off the nuts that hold the top hat onto the shock shaft. Then raise the car, and that should unload the springs
