Tell that to Ram's engineers because on 4th gen 1500s the shock is the limiting factor by design. That's not an opinion it's how it they're made
That doesn't make it smart. It's because most trucks will never see the limits of travel and Ram knows that.
Start lifting or stuffing a tire all the time and see how long a shock lasts being used as a travel limiter. You can have your opinion all you want. Shocks break when you use them as travel limiters. That's a fact.
