Default Front Bump Stops?????

Hey y’all, got a question. Don’t want the shock or the frame of my CR to be the bump stop on extreme compression. Anyone here fab bump stops onto their front end? I have Heidts arms and QA1 coils on the front. Thinking of fabbing a bump stop on the back side of the top hat that would hit the lower control arm if needed.

Thoughts?
Concerns?
I have a few, but want to hear yours as well.

I don't have any, never really a problem. maybe some shock mounted bumpers for an easy solution. like these...https://5xracing.com/i-23993454-5x-r...%26go%3DSearch

Maybe I am over reacting, and thinking too much about it at such an early stage, but if some of my family members and I jump on the front end, we can make the frame hit the ground right about the same time the shocks bottom out. Now, remember, the springs are set all the way to soft, and the shock is set to soft as well. If I stiffen the shock, still hits, but I have not tightened the springs yet. I assume that will help the most. I have QA1’s and 375lb springs. There is a chance that they could be too soft, but I won’t know that till I have everything mounted on the car and the actual weight known, to then adjust or change the springs. Either way, was wondering if anyone ever put bump stops on theirs to avoid bottoming out?
