If you remove the smaller, damper-side first then the initial spring rate of the bump stop engagement will be higher and the transition will be less smooth. For example, let's say the bump stop is progressive starting at 50lbs/in and ramping to 250lbs/in (these aren't actual figures for the bump stop). Instead of boosting the spring rate by 50lbs/in on initial engagement you might be boosting it by 100lbs/in.
