Technically speaking, the springs SHOULD be fully captured when the shock is fully extended... It is quite possibly that during a compression/rebound stroke the spring could come "loose" and end up caught between the strut top/bottom and cause some damage.

The odds of this happening are extremely rare, depending on shock rate, spring size, bump stop size, etc, etc. If you cut the springs to much, remove the bump stops and run shitty shocks, it's quite possible for the spring to compress to much and have the shock extend quicker/further than the springs.
