Will that effect height at all? & did you find reversing the front with the rear better? Or should I just preload it the correct way?

Bump stop does not affect height. It's simply there to prevent the shock from completely bottoming out when you hit a bump. Cutting the bump stop when lowering a car on factory shock just gives you a little more shock travel to compensate for the shorter spring length.

I did mine in the reverse order, so my rear end is about 1/4" higher then the front. I like it much better.
