Front End Suspension Bump Stops- Split

While under the excursion changing the shocks, I noticed both bump stops split. The one on the driver’s side was hanging by a thread.

I have read before that you can get shorter bump stops that would give the front end more room to move up and down. Does anyone have a part number for a good bump stop? Will allowing the front end more room to move cause any long-term damage?

I bet I busted them going over speed bumps too fast. Got tired of bottoming out all the time and just adopted going for it.

No part numbers here. Just order the bump stops for a 2003 4 wheel drive Diesel Excursion. They make the ride more forgiving.

Wow didn't know the X would split those rocks in half!

Yes get the 03 stops and get yourself some Us or Vs

On second thought if you like speed bumps go for the Vs
