    I reckon the cost and effort to achieve this will be prohibitive and no better than a head extension.
    Try a TBT head extension.

    In my opinion, I 'd stick with standard stroke and get the shot cycle better. My 95 was the best springer I've ever owned and standard stroke. The shorter stroke needs more spring energy which does quicken the cycle but I feel is a little harsher than a well fettled standard stroke length

    I'd recommend tbt piston extensions, I've used a 8mm one on my 97, the fit is perfect and makes a big difference. Imo not worth the hassle and expense of altering the rod.

    I ordered a kit off Nick (Tinbum), so that’s likely to be enough in my .22 ‘98, I ultimately want a .17, so this is research for the future now.
