Worst case for bump stops (for shock length) is full compression = remove springs and put weight on rear axle (jack it up with diff). Worst case for tire clearance is full flex (jack it up on one side). Both are concerns, depending on wheel/tire/shock setup.
As long as the spring doesn't fall out at full droop, you should be fine flexing.
If you have the boot off the shock, you can see how much travel you have left. Make sure you leave the boot holder in place for the right measurements.
You are probably going to have to do these measurements yourself...
