It sure seems to me that there should be a bumper stop. Thanks again, for staying with me on this, feels like things are making sense.

Yup..sounds like the shocks are too long.......
You may find find that the next shorter part no. shock may be too short...ie it will run out of shock travel at full droop......there is usually a small window where one size just meets both compression and full extension criteria.
As the shock gets shorter the shaft travel gets shorter too.....
And, as you've mentioned bump stops bolted to the frame may help as well.
Summit Racing sells lots of bump stops ..and Ebay, etc. There are fancy polyurethane ones and rubber ones ...dorman makes inexpensive ones....most have threaded studs and a nut; drill a hole and install.
