It will also reduce overall grip...

Have you tried adjusting the amount of oil inside your dampers? Bleed the air out and set the oil up so the shock gets stiffer as fluid pressure builds at the end of their stroke. If you too much air inside the dampers, it will blow past the piston at the end of it's stroke causing the dampers to soften before the chassis hits. This is will happen no matter what oil weight you use. You need to tap the bleed holes in the damper caps and use the bleed screw to remove the air and adjust the oil level inside. It will take some trial and error, but it will be a better than switching to stiffer overall setup...

Just make sure you don't have so much oil inside that you cannot fully compress the damper...
