Hmm partially correct.
You also bottom out the shock internals. So they last 6 minutes instead of a few years. The bump stops are there to stop the shocks bottoming internally.
Tein and TRD test their products. There is a reason both those companys only co certain drops on vehicles. And that is because anything more than that becomes unsafe on stock components, you need to start changing shocks etc. King and companys like that do not do such testing.
To put it bluntly, what you are trying to do, cannot be done safely and legally by the methods you are using. It is lowering jobs like this that result in ever toughening modification laws.
