Yes they are really needed. You can damage your springs by having them fully compress. You sacrafice a smidgen of flex for saving your springs.

Install them.

If you plan on running 35's you DO need some bump stop.

If you look close at RubyDoo's pictures all she has is the stock ones BUT there was a ALOT of other stuff i had to due to make the tires stuff up in the wheel wells.
The front, ALL the substructure for the fender flairs is gone and the metal bracket was bent up by 3" and the tires still rub it.
The Rear, HAD to cut 1" out of rock rail, BFHed the pinch seams in the wheel well so they are flat with the rest of the area and they still rub slightly.
