They are bumpstops to stop shockers bottoming out you will need to replace them. It's not that hard a job

I would think you just need the bumpstops

are your shocks f**ked?. do the rear end bounce about? are they leaking at all?
if not, then just replace the bumpstops if you feel the need. personally i wouldnt worry too much about the bumpstops.

From the little you can see of the shocks they look fine. Replace the bump stops and leave it at that :afro:
