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.
