Default Can this be done?

I have searched and found vague answers. I want to do the heater hose mod on a stock spring a strut/shock car. I am changing the struts/shocks to agx's tomorrow, but am leaving the stock springs the same. If i did the rear heater hose mod, will the rear look sagged? Because as it sits now, the rear has a big gap and the front is like half that. So i am hooping that it all looks even.

If the rear is sitting higher than the front then it should level the car out some. The mod ought to drop the rear 3/4" or so.

What I did is the 3/8" and wrap it up with electrical tape to make sure it wouldn't work itself out.
