Default Bump Stops

Will these work or is there better/cheaper ones?

If going poly I think everyone is using a jeep bump stop that you have to modify a bit to work. I don't remember the part number but Strano and some other sponsers sell them.

IMO, rubber is better here. 3rd gen rubber bump stops work perfectly, direct fit, and can be found cheap at salvage yards (mine where like $4). The rubber in the 3rd gen stops is better and not that foam rubber stuff in 4th gens that falls apart. I used some fine grit sand paper to clean the stops, painted the metal plate, and then used some tire shine to make the rubber pretty and black.

The poly bumpstops will not be as smooth a transition as the OEM rubber foam, which hawksthirdgenparts.com still sells...

I was wondering because mine is lowered and since mine are gone that the poly ones would be better cause of the offset of my wheels cause them to rub on ruff surfaces.
