I'd adjust preload before heavier oil.change you spacer adding a 1/4" at a time . Should get better and the dampening can still work. Heavier oil will slow the compression and rebound and make things harsh. Or burley preload adjusters. ...

I did the drop in lowering kit with Amsoil 10 weight oil and mine is super soft. Talked to the guys at burly and they suggested using the preload adjusters. So that will be my next move
