Question 1997 expedition front suspension

I just bought a 1997 4wd expedition. It has enough room to put 285r75 16 tires or larger without rubbing. I was checking the space between the rubber lower stopper and the bump stops and there is only about 2". Does that mean if I get into rough terrain, I will bottom out?
