Rear rubber bump stop.

Hi, I dont have this problem on my particular truck but 2 of my dads 4 trucks are well rusted off. Does anyone know where to find an exact replacement (3/4,1 ton) rear rubber suspenion bump stops? Thanks

You may never have to use them on the rear but my front suspension rest on them. That's how worn out my suspension is. :S

Question

Resurrecting an old thread is easier than starting a new one.

The Mopar rear bump stop part number is: 3897 293. They fit Dodge trucks from 1976 to 1993, are now out of production, and no dealer in the US is shown to be holding one. Does anyone have a source for aftermarket units?

TIA.

I have bought three used sets from an eBay member who goes by the username Redliner. He's out of Paris, Ark. He seems to constantly have rust free parts. Good luck.

When my brother and I were going through my Dana 70 he was amazed that my 84 crew was still sporting it's original rear bump stops...and in near perfect shape to boot!

I know the front ones for the 4wd, I had a bit of a time finding.

My bumpstops were beginning to rust, and when I took the truck apart, I soaked them overnight in phosphoric acid. After cleaning and drying, I set them on a level surface, with the concave side up. I filled the cavity flush with 2 part epoxy that I'm using on the frame. This will ensure that no salt / water or other junk will get inside and further rot them out.

I suggest doing this prior to installing your new (used) bumpstops.
