Negative. Notice that mine and KTM's example is contacting the upper leaf pack retainer plate; or something bolted/welded to it. The factory bump stop is situated so that it will contact the axle tube. You would need one hell of a spacer to contact the axle tube with stock flares.

dont waste your money on a spacer set. either get some scrap metal and drill some holes in it or just get a ton of washer lol itll do the job cheap and if it breaks, nothing lost.
My bumpstops rotted off lmao

a bunch of stacked washers will focus all the pressure from the axle hitting the bumpstop on 2 points and if those bolts dont break from leverage, the unibody WILL fail there. mine failed around there and i did it correctly and spread the load out as much as i could.

Dont add square tubing or anything between the bumpstop and the frame rail. Unless its a minimal ammount. The tubing will come into contact with the shock and dent it.
