Always wanted a pickup!

I bought a well used (260K miles) 2003 XLT 3.0L a couple of weeks ago. It is nice and straight and a California vehicle, so no rust. It had a big low end knock so a local shop swapped in a decent lower mileage engine and it purrs pretty nicely now. I'm retired and have plenty of time to tinker but can't do the big stuff like engines any more. Pretty much every rubber bushing and ball joint is gone so I'm gradually working my way through the suspension. I want to make it all as new as I can. So far I've replaced the sway bar links, upper control arms (Moog) and shocks (KYB Excel-G) and everything has gone pretty smoothly. I bought the lower control arms and coil springs but after feeling the weight of them, I'm not sure that I want to tackle those on my own.
One question I have - the lower control arm bump stops are broken. Does anyone know where I can get those or have a recommendation for a universal equivalent?

Welcome to TRS. Sorry I can't answer the bump stop question but someone here will soon. Have fun making everything ship shape again!

Look up Energy Suspensions, the make decent poly replacements so does James Duff LLC. While they may not have one called out for your 03, they have a nice variety of universal bump stops.

Welcome AshRev! Make it happen!
Bump stops- Can be expensive. But the poly ones I'd recommend.

Thanks everyone. I see I didn't have reply notifications on. Just ordered a couple of universal Energy ones. I'll see how they go. Don't have any off roading planned but LA roads can be pretty appalling.
