No worries, I bought the 12 inch bump can but about 4 inches will hang below the frame. What do I do to brace the extra length of the can that over hangs the frame?
Nothing. Never seen a set bend.

If your worried about it bending, grinder and a cutoff wheel, and make a gusset or two that runs from the back side of the bump can and all the way up to the bottom of the frame.
Fair enough, tomorrow I should be getting this stuff in the mail and I should be able to report back with something good on Thursday being my day off.
I'm sure I asked this before but do I want the bump to fully compress or should I leave a tad bit extra?
Im guessing a bump stop should be mounted so your full bump on the suspension is when the bump stop is fully compressed.
That is my thinking, but I think I'm getting confused with the shocks that needed a little extra give.
Because a shock, you dont want to get pushed or pulled past its limits
A bump stop is design for it.
The second name of the bump is STOP.
So I take it you want them to fully compress. 
They should stop about 1/4" from the end of stoke. Nitrogen only compresses so much.
Do you have any idea what yours are charged at? I'm thinking I need to let the "air" out of mine to fully collapse them and get measurements.
200psi. 7000lb truck needs all the help it can get.
No wonder I can't compress mine with my hands.
