So you don't over compress your coil springs to the point that they are completely compressed.

The bump stops should be what ultimately limits your travel and not the springs or the shocks.

you could always use washers and longer bolts to move bump stops.
This is true.... but why not just get the kit that's complete to begin with? Besides... to do it right with washers you would need a lot of washers.
