By decreasing the weight behind the rear axle you reduce that part of the force vector sum. Meaning the front actually has a greater force on it, since the moment around the rear axel must still be 0.
Greater force on the front, more spring compression.

Just no. Less force on the front. Your are overcomplicating the reality of the situation. The entire suspension supports the entire vehicle. You simply cannot separate the front and the rear of the car and assume they do not interact with each other. I removed everything behind the front seats, believe me it lifted the entire vehicle.
We are not talking about lifting the car inches, just fractions. Usually that is all that is needed to not scrape on most surfaces.
