Your rafters are probably 2 x 6's, you need a minimum of 8" so you have air flow above your 6" insulation. Rip a 2 x 4 in half and nail it to the underside of the 2 x 6's. Make sure to nail the factory sides, (the 1.5" side) not the saw cut side, so your Firring strips are all the same thickness.

What should you do if the low pressure line is insulated and sweating outside the insulation above a suspended ceiling and dripping on the ceiling causing mildew?
What is your question here? If you want to keep the insulation from sweating get thicker insulation. You probably have 3/8 thick insulation; increase to 1/2 or 5/8. It is possible that your suction line is freezing up and when it thaws it soaks the insulation causing it to drip. If you can't prevent the leak, use a vinyl ceiling tile, like Ceilume, in that area. It won't absorb moisture and is easily cleaned.
You have ceiling light spotlight can you lay loft insulation over them?
