Learn something new about Rovers every day.... it's been years since I've been underneath a stock anything...
Actually- the shock is the limiting factor. The shock piston will hit the top of the casing (since the case of the shock moves down in relation to the piston and shaft) as the axle drops (hopefully not too hard) and limit the downward movement of the axle. This is also, ironically, called "topping out" the shocks. If it's done violently, it'll bust the shock stem OR the internals.
