It's a good idea to get them, but not a must have.

Rack spacers prevent unwanted bump steer...... rotated mounts will axle bind when going low. Are they nessisties? No. Is it a good idea? Yes

^^^this is a true fact... i figured it might of been on inconsistency in their product but just about every set ive ever installed lines right up without the top mount and what not being loosened. powells i have to loosen the top mount and move the motor to get the holes to line up.
