Re-7 vs Re-8 switch for ride quality at set ride height

My truck now has slam Re-7s all around I'm running 80psi front and 35psi rear for a 5inch ride height and find myself running 70psi front and 30psi for the best ride but puts me at a 4 inch ride height.
Would switching to the re-8s allow me to run less bag pressure for a smoother ride at 5 inch ride height over the smaller bag

If being able to go as low as possible when deflated is less important than ride quality I would recommend keeping the 7s and making a spacer to go under the bag. 1/2" spacer under the bag should give you an inch at the spindle. That should be the quickest/easiest/most economical solution.
