My Tahoe is stock. Is the bumpstop part numbers the same as front and back?

At least read the entire post before you expect us to answer questions, since that's already been explained.

Those are the front Jounce stops. Search it, lots of threads on it.

The rear ones are actual bump stops and only used if your rear suspension actually bottoms out which will only happen if you're lowered quite a bit. If you do start hitting those you'll need to do a modification called the free travel mod and you'd replace the stock ones with something shorter.

I don't remember because I did the free travel mod which entails cutting the entire bracket that holds the bumpstops off the frame with a sawzall, which is what you need to do if you're hitting them. I've never heard of anyone replacing a stock rear one because like I said, they rarely, if ever, are used. They're only for bottoming out, which is completely different than what the front jounce stops are for. The fronts are in constant use. If you're hitting the rear ones in any situation other than when you're absolutely flying over huge bumps, then you don't need new rear factory bumpstops- you need to do the free travel mod and get rid of those factory ones along with the bracket that holds them on. THEN the new small aftermarket ones bolt on, in a new hole you drill in the frame. This mod gives you about 4" more travel, I believe, before bottoming out. I lowered my Denali 3" in the rear and I did the mod even though I don't believe I ever bottomed out, but I have autoride enabled.

Are you sure you read the entire post? Fronts are "jounce stops", rears are "bump stops". Completely different animals, completely different functions. Different part numbers obviously, sorry but I thought that was made clear.

Ok thanks. I was looking for the rear "bump stop" numbers.

You can probably get them from Rock Auto but like I mentioned nobody replaces them because they are rarely used unlike the fronts which are in constant use.
