It is an oil filled shock with an adjustable rebound appose to the gas charged shocks....if you have any other questions feel free to shoot them on over.

I would not recomend using the shock as a bump stop

while driving you would still want about 2" of travel over extending or not enough extension can cause the shock to fail prematurely
