Default Fork question

A while back I had an indy mech. change out my fork springs (Progressive-stock length), andI made it clear that I did not want it lowered. I've felt like something wasn't right about how the bike sits ever since I had it done, and after looking at some older pix, it's clearly sitting about an inch lower than it was. I want it to sit at least where it didin the old pixif not a tad higher (for looks and ground clearance), so what's the best route to take to get it fixed?

The ride height is controlled/tuned by PVC spacers that sit on top of the spring. Longer spacers are needed.
