All of this debate seems pointless. Bump stops are not in play for normal driving and will not affect ride in any way.
The bump stops only purpose is to keep the axel (front suspension) from slamming into the frame when you hit a hard bump. The rubber stop simply absorbs some of the impact so that you don't feel like your teeth are being knocked loose when you bottom out.
When you put a shorter traveling shock and or spring you need to cut some off so that you don't hit the bump stop on smaller bumps. Off road people raise their vehicles with longer shocks and springs and also have to put in bump stop spacers or new spacers. We lower our cars so we need shorter bump stops.
Bump stop height depends on how far up and down the suspension is allowed to travel in respect to the frame. Pretty simple. Follow the manufactures instructions they have done the testing for you.
