The diagram in the box shows an external bump stop, so that seems to support my theory.
Can someone confirm?

You're supposed to buy new bump stops (item 4) and new mounts (item 6) to go with your new shocks. You can reuse the dust covers if they're not damaged or haven't become embrittled with age. The Rogue Engineering mounts are a better choice than the OEM, but at a minimum you should replace the OEM.
