Help Finding Leaf Spring Bumper

I've been searching sites for the round rubber bumper that bolts to the frame above the leaf springs. I don't need the axle bumper, those are available. These bumpers look like a small hockey puck and the leafs would hit them instead of the frame. They are for a 1978 F-250 2WD.

Does anyone know what they are called or where I can find a few?

Dennis

I looked at mine, they are wedge shaped, no round disc-like bumpers on mine, sorry.

Im looking at the LMC catalog, and it shows a pic of the rubber bumper, and it looks like what i have. Maybe what you have is an aftermarket bumper, at some point?

I googled pics of leafspring bumpers and saw many different styles including wedge, conical, round and a few that are hard to describe.

I don't know if mine are original or not but the truck seemed to be all original when I bought it. I don't have it at my house so I can't take a pic right now.

I found these on the JC Whitney site but mine look like the flat round ones. I was wondering their correct name and where they could be purchased.
