Strut dust cover and bumpstop p/n

I'm going to swap struts/shocks/springs on my car and I want to just have the replacement struts ready to go in rather than pull the stock struts/springs apart. In order to do this, I need stock strut dust covers and bump stops. Does anyone know the part numbers for those items so I can order them?

Good question. I want to do the same thing, but was unable to find the p/n for the strut dust covers & bumpstops. What I could find looks like new dust covers are included when going with OEM replacement struts/shocks service kit. I am looking at ordering the bumpstops from FRPP.

I might just order the FRPP bumpstops and run without the dust covers. I think I read somewhere that the dust covers can't be ordered as a separate part. That doesn't make sense to me. Maybe there's a generic dust cover you can get at an Autozone or similar.

Confirmed: Ford does not sell the dust covers/boots.

To be on the safe side, I would re-use the dust covers for the new struts. It looks like most(if not all) are re-using the bumpstops, as well.

Yep, I was going to buy bumpstops and dust boots but since I have to pull the boots off the factory struts I'll use the factory bumpstops as well.
