Yes you need them

Cheers Daniel

EDIT, so it make more sense.

In my opinion, i would put them in, that way you decrease the possibility of the bolts coming loose.

Cheers Daniel

If you use UHMWPE plastic blocks you wont need any crush tubes...that stuff is incredibly strong & will never crush.
There is also no legal requirement with regard to materials for any bodylifting in any doc, neither for getting a warrant or a cert.Only thing close to a mention is very general in that material for anything must be suitable for the purpose.

you dont need crush tube lift blocks,just need high tensile bolts and you'll be fine.
