If you don't know what they do, that would indicate to me that you don't need any?
You having problems with wheel fitments or something?

Bump stops won't sort that, if anything it'll make it worse as the amount of suspension travel is reduced even further. You would need these if the wheel was hitting the arch or the car was dropping too low with weight in etc. and reducing ground clearance.
They don't improve ride at all, in fact quite the opposite.

Normal dampers aren't designed to ride at that height so they feel worse. Changing dampers will improve things.
