Bump stops acts as a secondary spring. Cutting it may give you more compression travel but if you hit a bump it may bottom out a lot harsher compared to an uncut bump stop. Also one thing to consider is binding that may occur on the suspension if you allowed it to compress too much.

Here is some good read about bump stops.
