Default Fork bottom out question

When the front forks bottom out. What is happening? Is it squishing the hell out of the dust seal? Or is there a rubber cushion like in the rear shock?

Also, i'm skeptical about using frame sliders on my bike. It seems like the bolts they come with aren't the same length as the stock flange bolts and thus wouldnt be as strong. They all look like same length universal bolts to me?

Thanks

its squishing the hell out of the fork spring... it shouldnt ever hit the dust seal...

and don't be worried about the bolts on the frame sliders, they're plenty strong enough
