That doesn't look like a bumpstop

This is what your bumpstop should look like

Those look like stock shocks. However, those don't look like bumpstops. On oem shocks, I cut 1/2 of the bumpstop and leave the harder (top) part on the shock.

that looks like a spring "locater", not a bumpstop. A bumpstop functions to keep the the piston from bottoming out inside the shock body. That item that you've circled, in that location, would not be able to do this.

Do not throw out the spring locater
