So some things happened and stuff happen that involves a sawzall, paint thinner, and a torch to burn out some old bushings. Well I may or may not have accidentally lit the bump stops on fire lol. (Not a huge deal because we were changing them anyway just not right away. So I want to start putting the front end back together tomorrow. So can order the stops from summit but I was wondering if these would work since the entire suspension is getting converted to polyurethaneanyway. I used the search but I didn't find anything that answered my question http://m.oreillyauto.com/mt/www.orei...0958&ppt=C0361 so would these work

The GM type poly stop can be purchased from Summit (ENS-9-9150R, the "R" is for red) as you probably know. That said, many members would say to avoid poly for the stops as there is no 'cushioning' effect. Also, bumps stops come in two sizes:

I already have the rear of the bushings I went and got the energy suspension master kit. The only thing I'm missing is the away bar bushings (because there are three different sizes apparently) and a trans mount which I'm also going to buy today. I did have 16" snowflakes but they are gone now in favour of a skinny fatty setup which are 15" rally wheels. But I guess if those won't work i will have to hunt around auto part stores and see if I can find them. I'm on a major time crunch so if they half to be ordered rubber or polyurethane I won't have a choice I'll have to throw the cracked ones bback in until the new ones come. Lol I was just hoping because they were $13 and plentiful

The trouble I don't know if the rubber one will hold up the torque converter is a 2000+ stall the whole transmission is built to stage 2 with a stage 3 shift kit in it and a vette servo with a superior 4th gear servo. Couple with that is a non adjustable tubed ta 370 running gears. Bm ratchet shifter, and an aluminum drive shaft. I may justgo to the store and measure them and see the height difference as apparently they have re designed the mount. If it matter at all every single bushing, mount anything to do with rubber at all has been replaced. Everything accept for the motor mounts is now polyurethane. I also swapped out the rear control arm with some lake wood boxed control arms I got off of here (or I will as soon as I get it in the mail)
