Volvo brand strut boots: don't come with, "bump stops??'

Finally getting to ordering parts for our '89 244 which has never had struts since new. (192,000mi). Am going to get real Volvo upper strut bearings and dust boots. I see on-line, Moog, KYB, etc. show their boots coming with bump stops. So do I need new bump stops? Order them separately? Or just order non-Volvo brand boots that already come with stops? I do notice the illustrations show after-market boots have bellows and the Volvo brand is straight-sleeved. ??

I have my NOS KYB 4-Way adjustable struts which I will have shop install. So my list is: my struts, upper strut bearings, (bearing internal with the 4-stud rubber mount), and dust boots. Am I missing anything? I live in remote area, so once this is apart, it's not fast to get something I forgot.

??

Thanks, Dennis in E WA state
