Rear bump stops -- optional or necessary?

side note: i think its funny how many people think they need new shocks because they have a stiff ride - that means your shocks are working correctly - the whole point of shocks is to get your wheels back in contact with the ground asap - its when they just keep bouncing that they need replaced[/QUOTE]

Along this line, my '99 with 156K on the clock still has the original shocks and they work fine. I know this sounds crazy, but those OEM KYB's were super shocks and were designed to last the life of the vehicle. So think twice when you throw them out and all you plan is highway use.
