Uptravel/downtravel doesn't change when going between the different shock ends, only A-arm droop. When putting a limiter under the piston, uptravel doesn't change, only downtravel and in turn A-arm droop. Hope this help, i see where you're coming from.
He was talking about swapping shock ends to change droop instead of taking the shock apart to add/remove limiters.
Odd, because I'm running 27mm without a 1mm limiter, I'm curious what he gets by doing this.
But thinking about it, why aren't you getting more uptravel? Sure the 27mm betweeen shock end and bottom of the body is the same, but if I were to push both of them up, the one with the 1mm limiter should be 1mm longer INSIDE of the body shouldn't it?
I did an illustration to show you what I'm visualizing.
