Not wanting to limit the upward travel at all of it. Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of the shocks or limit their actual ability?
Lower your roll centre by raising your upper camber link. (Put a few spacers under the ball stud) I put 3mm under both front and back I found this SERIOUSLY helped keep the truck from rolling over too much. I still haven't installed my swaybars yet and I really feel the truck is much more stable through the corners.

Shocks have a limited amount of travel, and unfortunately, this truck's CVDs bind in the diff outdrives when the shocks travel all the way up (beyond bottoming out the truck on a flat surface). By limiting the shock from travelling that far, you can prevent the CVDs from getting caught in the outdrives. You still get a large USEABLE range of movement, and you can help prevent your CVDs from bending, and your diffs from prematurely wearing.
