01 2.7t in H&R race and stock shocks,.HELP

i need some help. I have h&R race springs on stock shocks that are pretty much shot..no i feel like it may be riding on the bumpstops..no sure?? but thats what it feels like maybe...

is this possible? if so could i just cut down the bumpstops? not really looking to buy new shocks right now bc im not sure im keeping the car

thanks for your help

Bad shocks won't do your complex multilink front suspension any good.
Blows out crappy front balljoints on upper control arms, probably same on lower control arms.
