I have no idea what would happen if you uncommented these things on a
system that uses dhclient. There's a "LEASE DECLARATIONS" section in
dhclient.conf(5) that appears to discuss it, but I've never used it, and
I don't want to make statements based on an extremely brief skim of
the first paragraph.
However, now I'm even more confused. I thought your system had dhcpcd
installed and running. Why would it *also* have a configuration file
for dhclient? These are two completely different DHCP client packages.
I can't imagine why dhcpcd would read this file at all.
