Poly bump stops

I just received my polyurethane front sway bar bits from Wheeler's. Although not requested, they include four poly bump stops in the kit. I know the stock rubber ones are pretty firm, but these feel rock hard. What possible benefit could these new bumpstops bring? Confused.

I got the same kit. Mine are the same size. I did not use the poly. My rubbers are in great shape and I hear that getting the old ones off can be a bear.

I replaced the sway bar bushings today and elected to leave the factory bump stops in place. My original sway bar bushings were literally hanging from the mounts.

They fit perfectly and the truck feels tighter.
