bump stops, should I get some? Options

[Rider]

I'm pretty sure that when I installed the new shock/spring setup, the shocks did not come with bump stops. Now, if I hit a decent size pothole, it sounds like the shocks are really taking a beating (you hear a loud 'thump'). This happens about once a week... Would getting bump stops reduce the chance of that happening?

Also, would I have to take the shocks off the car (and take the springs off too) in order to put the bump stops in? I'm thinking it might be cheaper to wait until I have to change the shocks altogether so I don't pay twice for labor... What do you guys think?

*edit: I found a site that sells these http://www.resuspension.com/Bump-Stops-p-1-c-92.html you'll have to scroll down a bit to see them, but I have no idea what size I need... Anyone know???

U need bump stops. I had to get these when I switched to Intrax Springs because they were lower. Prevents the solid contact and the damage of the struts. Or the term bottoming out.
