Do some more reading about it. Modern suspension systems are designed with a compressible bump stop and the bump stop is in use a lot more than you would think. The basic concept is that the bump stop is used to create a variable rate spring that reduces body roll by firming up rapidly under compression around turns.

I did not realize the stock suspension had that short of a travel range before hitting the bump stop.
From my experience of working on suspension components in the past, non of the bump stops showed any sign of stress marks, so I figured they’re there as a ‘crash pad’.
Thanks for sharing the information.
