I spoke to Rick Ehrenberg about snubbers a while back.
This is what he said:
"You need some kind of windup control for sure with any pure leaf-spring rear suspension. The other option, other than the snubber, would be Cal-Tracs.
You also might get away without the snubber if you use quadrashocks (Just Suspension has the kit as 'Ground Pounder'). The old-fashioned "traction
bars" also accomplish this, but they bind up the rear suspension making them a disaster for street driving.
With no windup control, it is possible to momentarily over-angle the U-joints, resulting in instant destruction -- not pretty if you're at WOT in the 60-foot!"

Yes, no doubt you need the one that the factory installed.
It's the useless adjustable "too tall" one we're talking about.

With stock springs and the lowest setting you still have to cut the rubber down! I used a cut down upper bump stop on mine.
Thats the other reason I made mine.
