I was just having a nosy around and saw these shock mounted bumpstops. They come in firm and soft.

I'm not sure I like the idea of those at all. Shock mounts aren't designed to take the full force of the bumpstop. There might be a case of these to help prevent hard bottoming on articulation (but not on hard compression like landing a jump) but I think you'd require different length shocks to make them work.

I know the BBCS shocks sold by poly performance have a bump stop on their shaft, and doestch tech have run bumps on their shafts for years, but I think it's a poor solution to a proper, separate bump stop.
