rear bump stops

Would like to know where I can purchase rear bump stops for my 1999 chevy astro van. check with dealer and they were over $60.00 a piece. Does anyone know where I can find them cheaper, is there any aftermarket sources? Any and all help would be welcome Thank You Roter

Re: rear bump stops

Hi old Master bump stops I used were Energy Suspension #9.9143G (3-1/8) . I made nylon spacers to bring them up to original height which was about (3-3/4). they are working fine . Just wanted to let you know what I have done .Roter

Re: rear bump stops

Rear "factory" bump stops can be replaced with Timbren SES units. For more details, surf:
http://www.timbren.com/ses-kits.htm
http://www.timbren.com/ses-van-suv.htm
http://www.timbren.com/timbren-appli...fs/GMRASTB.pdf

Note: Do shop around because selling prices dramatically vary. Some re-sellters charge twice the cost as others.

If wondering, I replaced factory bump stops with Timbren SES units in my previous Safari van. I'd do it again... Excellent product.
