Well I do have to question this statement.... I could be wrong but the way I see it if you add a 3mm spacer to bike "A" and extend the ride height 3mm on bike "B" the end result will be the lower eye of the shock will be in the same place.

So when you bolt it to the lower linkage (which is closer to 3:1 not 2:1) the ride height of both bike should be the same.

I can't see how adding length to one end or the other will make a difference. In the end you have a shock the is Xmm longer which should give you the same result in the end IMHO.

I agree with Hawk. longer shock will be the same as adding a spacer
