I doubt you'll notice a difference by bolting them on, there is a reason they added them to the '97's so you might notice ill effects if you do NOT put them on.

With the 1'' BL you are subjecting the mounts to an increased load and the two additional mounts will help compensate for that.

For the peace of mind, I'd bolt them on there, you don't want to do it twice.

You may get away with out having those brackets, but why not and just go ahead and get them to be on the safe side.

I believe so. You can see the plugs for them when you take off the side plastic stuff inside.
