I don't have them (yet) but it looks like it would make it alot easier to remove down the road if they needed to be inspected or rebuilt (drivers side is hard to get to in stock form with the bed on)

If you go lower than a few inch drop out back it's good to run them because they prevent bind when the shocks compress. They allow the top of the shock shaft to move freely side to side, back and forth. They're a pillow ball setup sort of. Otherwise, with the bigger drops, the shock shaft is at an odd angle and the shaft can snap when it compresses.
