It's not nearly as easy as removing a spacer. The older ones you could move spacers around, but they dropped that feature a few years ago. You'd have to make your own spacer to put on the damper shaft, and then cut down the spring. The short version is, unless you're pretty experienced working on suspension, you can't.
