Default Longer bump stops or not?

2.5 inch lift with bilstein 5100. Factory wheels and tires so no tire clearance issues.

The compressed length of the shocks are:
Front stock=14.75. 5100=14.98.
Rear stock=15. 5100=15.39
Question is will I need longer bump stops to keep the shocks from bottoming or not.

sound like a good excuse to go play and get some measurements. I disconnected and flexed mine to see How much I needed
