I have read about the bracket and shorter shocks BUT I am only 5'4" and 26" inseam. Is there a way to do both? neither option by itself would be enough as I don't touch at

You should learn to land going to one side.
Although I am lowered with Hagon Shocks (Lowered by 2"), I do this often since our roads here in Georgia are not always level anyway. Once you get used to that, it's not so bad.

It's been too long, they come in mm sizes.
You would use the part number in my OP as a reference and maybe ask Hagon what would be the next size shorter????
