yeah you should use them, but when you take your old stuff off you reuse the old bumpstops. if your puttin on lowering springs make sure you cut them or they'll bottom out. there should be a chart to show ya how much to cut them.

Use both bump stops. Some suggest to cut the bump stops in half to allow shock travel.
