a shock's travel is a shock's travel is what I am saying. you cannot extend the travel of a shock, because it was with X amount of extended length and Y amount of compressed length.
that said, if you wanted to increase the travel of the suspension, but use the same shocks, you would raise the shock mounts, so you don't limit the suspension droop. then bump-stop accordingly so you don't wreck your shocks on up-travel.

well, limiting straps depend on a couple other things too....how much flex will your control arms allow?
have you tilted your shocks out when you did the mounts?. I have a problem with my truck right now where I get the front end flexed out and my shock body hits the truck frame....and that's what limits it from flexing farther. it's also scary to have a $230 shock body resting against the frame...that's just potential to bend, and no thank you.
but yes, limiting straps are essential to keep you from using your shock as a limiting factor.
