Does Increasing Factory Rear Shock Load raise the rear suspension, thereby giving it more travel...?

My ride has gotten progressively worse (since trailering...) and was looking for some help here-at least in the rear...
 
A rear tire that is +65% used up may give you the idea there is something wrong with the suspension.

It will progressively get worse until you have a new round rear tire again.

I was under the impression that if you increased the tension say from setting 1 to 4 you were compressing the shock and lowering the bike a bit.
I may be wrong though.

Robert, in a way your right it compresses the spring

However it does not change the shock-absorbing inner-works.

The total length and travel of the complete shock stays the same at every setting.
