My rear bump stops have literally crumbled away and one of my front stops is chunked as well. I jumped online at Autonzone and found it difficult to find proper replacements. I then did more online research and was surprised to not find good substitutes. The rears are of good size compared to most aftermarket universal styles. Maybe they're not even really needed since I have a body lift.
Anyone have an input?

Re: front and rear bump stop availability
I'm not interested in poly, too harsh.

Re: front and rear bump stop availability
Thanks for the lead! I hadn't expected $125 cost. At least this is something.
Since you sourced this already, I'm sure you were surprised at the limited selection.

'Poly is too harsh'
Are you planning on running on the bumpstops regularly?

Re: front and rear bump stop availability
That was my thought too and the rear bump stops on my van really only come into play now with heavy loads/towing. I prefer the Energy Suspension polyurethane mounts to the less than robust squishy stock bumpers but that's personal preference.AstroWill wrote:'Poly is too harsh'

Re: front and rear bump stop availability
I hope to never touch the bumpstops. I have a 2" body lift, plus Airbags in the back so more than likely they won't ever come into play. For $100+, I may not even replace them, at least the back ones.
