Prolonged suspension issue

I'm at wit ends the problem is that from time to time my shocks feel blown then randomly it doesn't (not motor mounts) at other times its uncomfortably stiff ,and for some weird reason when it's stuff it is because there is the bumpstops have no room for play example the bump stop touches the shock and the top hat at the same type these are kybs btw with about an inch drop lowering spring

Are the dust boots oem? You could try cutting the stops a little bit. I have a similar setup and it is certainly a more stiff and bumpy ride but I don't bottom out like you describe.

A suspension expert will likely chime in soon. Don't forget to post in DJ's thread.
