Downisizng stroke from 55 to 52.5

So recently ive been looking at buying a rockshox vivid rc2t air and its only available in 52.5 stroke in my eye to eye lenght wich is 185(185x55). Since i have no other option, can i ride the shock with the spacers for bottom out-the tokens if yes how many of them do i need?Chatgpt told me dowsizing in stroke lenght would result in my shock bottoming out way to easily so it recommended using spacers. If it helps i ride a s frame 27.5 norco sight c3 2019 and im 50kg(110lbs). What should i do?

Since you are staying in the 'root size range' you can purchase this kit 11.4118.113.017 and it will require full teardown to install. RS used to put some travel and volume spacers with new shock in the box purchases. The service manual has a little info about it as well.
