Bump...excuse the pun!
So the number I listed in my first post is the rear "traction bar" snubber. YC3Z-4730-AA is the correct number for the rear frame to axle bumper. It is discontinued but still available if you search online.

I ended up snagging the Dorman front bump stops from Rock Auto. At stock height the bump stops are very close to the axle. When the rubber is missing, the front bump stop bolt hits the axle when the truck bottoms out. This buggers the head of the bolt and makes it a PITA to remove!
The over travel of the suspension also tears up the sway bar end links! Also got some of those from RA. The upper bolt on the passenger side hits the exhaust pipe on the V10 model. I had to cut that bolt with a hack saw. It's a 10mm 10.9 bolt and it's HARD. The end links come with a new bolt and you can put it in the
other way.
Night and day difference in handling and ride comfort!
Moral of the story, check your bump stops and relpace if necessary before extra damage is done!
