Set your preload low and bring your forks up through the trees. I've seen flat track bikes with a tie strap going from the swinger carrier to the grab bar also. You can do that if the back end still isn't low enough from lowering the preload

Anyone know of a different shock off of something else that would work?

I have a spare spring and I thought about doing the redneck lowering kit and cutting some off the spring.I'm not gonna be jumping it but I want atleast a bit of cushion.

I lowered by taking out the spring spacers out the forks and dropping the forks 3 inches. The rear I just backed the preload off til the spring started to come loose. I was extremely surprised how much the rear suspension still functioned very well and should be low enough for your needs as long as you have an axle/spacers.

The preload trick works good.I think I still want to strap it just to keep things snug.

If you are lowering to screw around the strap might be okay.If you are entering a event it may not be allowed.Google search lowering a 350x.You will see something like "Gerauld's 350x".That is what I do for ice racing.
