The guy fully explains this in the vid when he puts a standard sized shock next to the Tokico's.

As Jan sais, you loose stroke, risk bottoming out, and depending what type of shocks you have, have an optimal range based on the piston being dead center when the car is standing still. If the piston sits alot lower because you've lowered your car, or you've put a big spacer underneath the shock can not do its work properly. This problem, if I have understood the theory correctly, does not influence oil based shocks (such as KONI), just gas based shocks (tokico, agx, etc).
