Sounds like you are running shocks that have too long of a body if you are bottoming out on the road. Photos will help see what you have and get some answers to help you out.

Looks like I might not even need the lower bump stops.

From those photos I can't belive you are bottoming out the shocks. If anything you have too much bump stop. How is the clearance with the tires?

I am pretty sure now that the bump stops didn't have enough room and that is why one of my front bump stop upper towers got bent.
