Well in a nutshell...

The longetivity of shocks depends on the amount of drop plus the springrates. Comptech springs are designed to be used with stock shocks, and they're advertised as a ~1.25" drop. The lower and more stiff you go, the more inadequate your stock shocks will be in their dampening capabilities.
