It seems like every car has an order in which to do things, or tweak tricks that aren't always apparent.
It was mentioned to me that making the shocks a little longer overall will allow for more suspension travel, and should let me run my foams down to the rim once again. I'll look into that when rebuilding the shocks in hopes of getting the tweak out. I was having trouble getting enough uptravel once the tires got around 54mm.
Also, for the second time, I had a front shock retainer pop off during a minor impact. I still can't figure out what's causing them to launch like that, but I've heard at least one other person mention the same thing. They seem to be snug on the shocks, so maybe there's something else I should be looking for.

Lengthening the shocks will definitely give you some more room on ride height droop with small wheels.

Its not the front impact that is the problem. It is a very light grazing with the side of the car that is snapping them. I don't feel like it is the axle. I have been running the graphite short arms front and rear and it has been real good so far.
