Default How much of a drop can kyb agx's handle?

Does anyone know this? My current drop is only 1.75'', and the agx's have been fine for 7 months or so. I want to increase to a 2.25'' fr/ 2'' rear drop, but I don't want the shocks to end up blowing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Koni's aren't an option. I have no complaints about the AGX's.

i did about a 3" drop on tokico illuminas and it's been like that for about 3 years, and they are still fine as far as i can tell

i don't see kyb's being that much worse than the illuminas(which are pretty good imo from my experience with them)

I had a 99 civic dropped on KYB-AGX and Ground Control coilover sleeves on 16/45 tires with no gap. I sold the car to my buddy. Same suspension for 7 years now. Not a single issue......

Thank you guys, for the input. It sounds like I should be safe with the drop I want.
