Shock travel no, if shock is already extended at max length.

Yes, but those are usually for people who lower and are using stock length struts that are semi compressed by running shorter/lowering springs. It is used to fully extend the shock, aka gaining that lost travel.

You can't add shock travel without changing shocks if they are already fully extended.
Max length and min length stay the same.

Are you trying to gain travel or height?
