shocks like a full coilover?
does anyone make a shock that adjusts on the lower shock like a full coilover setup does? i figure it seems like a good diea, but does anyone manufacture it? I assume it would provide a lot a shock travel.
here the blue part adjusts. this leaves the shock n spring at a set height right?
does any company like tokico or koni make a shock that adjusts like this?

Huh?
Lots of companies make threaded-body dampers.

What do you think you just posted a picture of?

It's not what you think. Coilovers like that actually have a fixed stroke and are intended to work with a narrow range of spring rates.

Adjusting that effectively shortens or lengthens the overall length of the damper body. It does not affect the stroke at all.

Koni makes various dampers with fully threaded bodies, but you will have to fab up your own threaded lower mount. Why would you want to do that though?
