Default Ride Height

I run on a very bumpy grass track and am running Richard Lowe's bury set-up. One thing I have noticed that if I try to run at speed on a bumpy section, the back end tends to bottom out and then throws it self up so the rear wheels come high off the ground. This then causes the car to go into a roll or flip.

I'm thinking a solution maybe to run the car higher? I currently run the CVD's level on the front and the wishbones level on the rear. I understand that if I raise the car, I will lose ability to corner faster as it may tend to roll more.

Is there another or better option? Should I try limiting the shocks, different weight oil, different shock pistons?
