No.

You wont need new upper arms, you will however need to grind your bump stop perch and install limit straps to prevent your spindles from hitting your perch's.

No, they do not limit the shocks. The Shocks are not the problem. Your spindles will hit your bump stop perch if you do not grind the perch back.

Grind the perch, install longer NITROGEN shocks to regain ride quality, and install limit straps.
