Changing shocks mounts
Ow difficult it would be to lift 1 or 2" the upper shocks mounts? All 4...
Instead of using a bigger bumpstop, this way I will keep LCOG, and a the best suspencion travel...

Is it lifted? If it is, then the bump stops are needed. Raising the upper shock mount will make you lose down travel, while it will increase up travel (bump stops are needed to limit that). Bump stops have nothing to do with your center of gravity.
If it is stock suspension, my second and third sentence still apply. If you want more travel from the stock suspension, get LONGER shocks, and extend your brake lines. This will allow your axles to droop further.

It is lifted 2,5", with longer shocks (fox for 2,5 to 4,0). I have 35s (real 34s). So, i want to use as much course as I can. I didnt want to make it higher. If I extend my bumstops, I will have to little up travel front. So I had this idea...
I know EVO change this point for their coilovers...
I would like to do something like that...

If you extend your bump stops you won't have enough up travel? Then you need to figure out what length bump stops are needed for your application. You want the tire to stop just before it touches body. More up travel will just cause damage if its not limited by the PROPER bump stops. So, research bump stops, not extending shocks, you'll lose down travel, which to me, is much more important to keep you planted. Unless I am misunderstanding what your goal is here?

Ah, I didn't interpret it that way! Having a bit of trouble understanding I guess. If the shocks are too long then I see where he is coming from.
