Default Question about poly bushings for the lower control arms

The stock arms on our cars have stoppers to keep the arm from moving around. When changing out the bushings to poly, would i need to use the stoppers again? the reason i ask is because judging by the picture of the stoppers, the inner diameter doesnt seem big enough to go over the poly bushings. If anyone who has done this before could chime in i would very much appreciate it since i plan to do this next week.

Thanks!

What brand polyurethane bushings do you have to go in? Since you are planning to do this project next week I think at the start of the new work week calling the folks at FIGS or whichever manufacturer you have used and asking them about this may get you the answer you need.

I wish I could be of more help but I've never done this particular job and just don't know.
