A shock does not over extend. It extends as far as it can and stops. That is what I meant by topping out. Yes that is the same as limiting down travel.
Suspension should be able to cycle through the full movement (no matter how short) with out interference. Scoti mentioned he had once installed shocks that were to long, have made that mistake myself. My point was cycling the suspension and getting actual measurements will get you the numbers you need. The other way is to use a configuration that has been confirmed.
