Yes, but you would destroy the SLS control valve, an expensive piece to replace. When all the rear suspension bits are properly set up, measure from the center of the star in the middle of the wheel up to the lip of the fender. That should be 13 inches, +/- 0.5 inches.

Soft wallowing bounce, or hard stiff bounce? Did you bleed the air out after replacing the accumulators? The best method I've found for bleeding is to loosen the hose connection on each hydraulic strut until only clear fluid is coming out, then correct the fluid level in the reservoir.
