I was told a long time ago that is to keep the shock ends from being pulled off the shock shafts. I do know someone that has milled their chassis so that those stops are not there and the arms can have true full travel down. He did put longer ends on his shocks (I think from a truggy) and has never had a problem that I know of.

I have never seen it happen and like I said my buddy milled off his tabs(where you adjust droop on the chassis) along with using longer ends and he hasn't had any problems to date that I know of. What about standing the shocks more and adding some preload to the springs?

It can be pushed a little, both in the compression and rebound range, but to much and you'll be throwing dog bones, chipping joint caps, snapping CVD shafts, and busting shock pistons... Its not a good idea to use the shocks to limit suspension travel, specially fully extended. The shock piston wasn't designed or ever intended to act as a bump stop...
