shock installation kit

Post by samstheman »

Buying new stock style front shocks and noticed they sell an installation kit.
It looks like a bottoming bumper and upper and lower grommet. My old shock didn't have bottoming bumper is anyone using this.Image

the only bottoming bumper is on the spring plate on the rear. When the plate raises there is a rubber snubber that hits at the top. There is none on the front.
