The spacer doesn't change wheel travel at all. It simply raises the ride height. This allows reducing the spring preload to re-establish the original ride height. In doing so you get a corresponding increase in wheel travel before coil binding occurs. Ideally you gain enough travel that the bump stop now prevents coil binding.
