OME 890's with bilstein 2451's

I am wondering if the 2451 shocks will be to short for the 890's. Does anyone have experience with this?

These are the shocks that I am running

Shocks: Front, Bilstein F4-BE5-2450-HO. Rear, Bilstein F4-BE5-2451-HO. (Yellow Body and Blue Boot)

The coils that I'm running are: Tundra TRD with a 3/8" top out spacer. Rears are OME 891 with a 10mm trim packer on both sides. Yes the 2451 are shorter than the 5125 but I can tuck my 32s all the way into the wheel well and almost (1/4" of space) touch the inner fender. I also get a ton of droop. I am very happy with the ride too.

With the front setup I get 6 1/2" of travel and the rear I get ~26" of wheel movement (not travel but single wheel compression of ~10" with a droop of ~16"). I know you are saying BS! You don't need a shock that has 26" of travel to get these numbers. If one wheel is compressed and one is drooped you can see these numbers. The axle is compressing the shock but the wheel is outboard of it and does move further.

It looks like the 2451 have ~7" of travel. I get ~2" of droop which would give me ~5" of compression.
The last time I was wheeling I noticed that my conical jounce bumper (the rubber cone inside the coil) was stopping my travel before the shock was completely compressed and before the axle touches the bumpstop.
