You are now lifting the bed 3 inches above where it used to be supported. Are you going to be hauling ANYTHING in your bed?
Put them in, I dont like body lifts as is, but at least put on all the parts that are REQUIRED.

Many people don't put them in and still carry loads fine without crushing the bed.
My truck came without them. I personally have carried several loads of firewood that were way to heavy for a ranger and never had a problem. It would take a large amount of weight concentrated in one spot to cause a problem.
For a compromise I have read of people using JB weld to hold them in place. The blocks only hold weight under compression of a load. Then if you want to take the lift off its easy, and no need for a welder.
