Re-bound straps were used with the lever action shocks to protect the shocks from excessive "extension" (actually rotation).
Re-bound straps are not normally necessary with telescopic shocks. The "gotcha" is that the shock mounts and shock extended length must combine to have the telescopic shocks fully extended in the right place. If your telescopic shocks are significantly too long and allow too much "droop", then extension limiting straps might be necessary.

If you use shorter shocks to limit suspension extension, make sure they don't bottom out on compression. Compressed and extended shock length can be a hassle, especially with short shocks on small cars.
