Take 1/4 off the upper strut bearing and use bump stops that compress 1/4 inch more, and you just gained back half the travel you lost, which is travel you need if you drive on anything other than smooth roads. Its the transitions, bumps, dips, potholes, etc. of the real world that cause the suspension to crash and bang as it bottoms out.
