you should get new ones because if you loose them all together if you bottom out it will be against the body just get a cheap set of poly ones for at least something

Over extending, or compressing rather, of the rear suspension can cause rear trans output seal failures. While I've never had this happen on my car I have seen it on other cars that have removed bumpstops. Meaning, hit a hard bump, blow the seal, replace it, hit a hard bump, blow the seal, replace it....you get my drift.

If you have the money, I would get OEM replacements.
