I hadn't heard that, in fact the internal stops were a selling point of the bags for me! After some digging I came across this on their site though:
"All Slam Specialties air springs are supplied with an internal bump stop. This has been designed into the air spring to protect the rubber layers when fully compressed. If a vehicle is using the internal bump stop on the air spring as the primary bump stop all defects arising from this type of installation will not be covered under warranty."
I guess I'll fab up some adjustable bumpstops next time the control arms are out...
