I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this.. if you lower the top of the damper (car body) by 40mm. Then lower the top of the shock body by 40mm, shouldn't you now have the exact same bump stroke as stock? I know mine does with a very similar setup.
You might be having some trouble with spring-bind perhaps?

Twin tube dampers like the AGX also have small piston area's and as a result take a longer time to devellop damping forces.
