1. Measure your current bumpstops.
2. Determine/choose how much of the suspension travel you would like to eliminate to resolve your problem.
3. Order bump stops that will allow you to do so (i.e. current bump stop length + this extra distance).

Coolio. I'd try to make it sound more complicated if I could, but it is only a simple operation, I'm sure you can order up and be done with it soon enough :)
