Jounce Spacer when going to 17's?

Is it true you have to install a new jounce spacer when upgrading to 17" wheels from 16's? Just asking before my Smoothies get here.

you have 1 bumper on each side of the axle, the spacers add maybe 1 inch in height to the bumper so when you hit a dip or bump on the road the tire doesnt hit or bottom out
