That and you are now AWESOME!

Nope, I took a pic of the passenger side because that's the one that wasn't trashed!

. The driver's side is still there but pretty much useless, doesn't stand up straight and is half rotted.
So, are those snubbers worth replacing since it will be a while until I do the V/modded B spring swap? What are they called so that I can search for them?

They are called front suspension bumper(By Dorman anyways) and can be found on RockAuto.com for a song compared ot the OEM Motorcraft ones or aftermarket Energy Suspension ones.. Here is a pic of the new ones I installed recently.

I don't have the proper name or part number for the traction bar snubbers, hopefully someone here does and can share it here. If you are going to be keeping the stock rear suspension for a while yet I think it may be a good idea to replace them with something. They do help to limit the amount of rotation of the rear axle upon acceleration.

These were my stock snubbers that I sent off to a fellow member here, unfortunately age and exposure to the elements must have weakened them as they disintegrated shortly after he installed them.

Yes Tom those are the front bumpers that are in my pic. I guess I misread which rebound bumpers/bumps stops/snubbers the OP was asking for. I don't think RockAuto had the rears in stock, never looked because the ones on my truck are still in decent shape.
