Lost my way a bit?

Hi all, well I've had my bike for over 25yrs now and along the way have altered pretty much everything. In more recent years I've become aware that I had kind of lost my way with the handling/suspension, but you can actually ride pretty much anything. Then I moved house to an area where potholes, rumble strips etc are a real issue, to the point that sometimes it really hurt, so I decided that it was about time for a rethink.
I decided to assume that the main problem might be that I had the rear too high/front too low. So working one setting at a time, I've shortened the shock (complete with softer spring) and reset the forks lower in the yolks. Now I have an issue, with no preload I've only 22mm of static sag on the forks. So should I try to reduce the packing on the spring, or should I try a weaker spring?
