What size/length do you suggest to hold the hockey pucks in for bump stops? Thinking about 1/2" so I can squeeze it under the perch in back. Not sure how many pucks I'll need, but I assume 1 or 2. I'd like to be able to purchase everything before I start so I don't have to run back to the hardware store in the middle...

Squeeze it under the perch?
I tapped my perches for 5/16-18 and used 2-1/2" bolts with large washers (for two pucks). And cut recesses in the top pucks on a lathe.
Not exactly sure what you're asking but this is what RockJock uses and as a result what I've used, with longer bolts as necessary if extra pucks are needed. Just measure the pucks minus any countersinking you do.

To add to the above comment I don't have a lathe but I've just clamped a puck into a vise before and used a spade bit for countersinking

Did you ever measure the compressed length of the 0-2" shocks? Do you need extended bumpstops?
