Are they needed? I haven't had those on my pickup since the mid 80's. :)
The shock prevents the axles from going too far down to let the spring unseat.
I've always seen them as something the factory needed, not me. {shrug}
Building a show truck? :)

They are too common a part for me to chance going without, but I see the point that logically they are not absolutely necessary.

yes it is hard to imagine that the springs would ever move out of the top mounts. but just in case a bump in the road or something . i would rather my truck have them in place just to stop them from a act of god or something.
