RS Pilot XC - Extend travel?

My dealer just replaced the '04 RS Judy SL U-Turn in my Giant Rainier with
a Pilot XC (their choice) because the Judy's:

1. Adjustment knob broke
2. Adj. mechanism bound
3. Seals leaked

The free replacement XC feels OK for now, but I've read the
travel can be extended from 80 to 100mm. I kind of liked the
Judy's 75-115mm travel adjustment (while it worked anyway).
Should I pull the spacers or would this lead to to much flex
in the fork, or is it more trouble than it's worth? Thanks
for reading.
