Any of you guys had this happen before? What if I just leave the bumpstops out is this ok?

I just used the stock ones for anybody who is wondering or searching, seems this is the norm according to past threads.

Use the stock stock ones , with out a bump stop you stand a good chance of bottoming out the shock and ruining it, especially on a lowered car.. Make sure the bumpstop pedestal is on the shock or you stand a good chance of pushing the seal and head down in the shock. Not good
