They aren't built to bottom out.

Yes bags are inside. And good point on the shock movement not being vertical like the bags. That makes sence. I have a floor jack in there now so I can move the axle up and down and get reference points and simulate the travel.
As far as the shock limiting the bag travel. Not on the bottoming out part. The full extention...so not to overextend the bag. I read somewhere to set the shock so that it limits the bags overall travel other wise your bag will stretch beyond the point it's meant too and ruin the bag because the bag itself has no way to limit itself(as far as overall full extention). Trying to think of the best way to explain that. That's the way I've understood it anyway.
