shock question

so im running bell tech street performance shock P/N 10602F up front. the extended length is 13.25". right now will no load on the truck the shock is measuring 10", now the collapsed length is 9". so im i only getting 1" of compressed travel? The rear im running the 2212FF which has an ext length of 22.5 inches and collapsed length of 14" and again no load the shock is at 16". so I'm only getting 2" of travel in the rear?

That's not enough downward travel, I had the same problem in an old Dakota I had. Everytime I hit a bump I could feel the shock bottom out after a a nice pot hole broke the shock bolt I replaced them with shorter shocks.
