I found them in a local sports store in Melbourne, so probably wont help you there? The mallet method would do the same thing.
This is directly from Go Jeeps site: http://www.go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoBumpstops.htm
As soon as you are over 30" tall tyres ( even earlier if not a sport ) then you will need to lower your bumpstops to prevent fouling the guards under full compression unless you do major trimming. I run 31.2" tall tyres ( 275x70x16 ) and have 2" lower bumpstops than the sport stock which are about 1 1/2" longer than stock already. The mistake is often made that if you raise the suspension than this is not necessary but that is false because even at 12" of lift at full compression the tyre still ends up in the same spot as a stock XJ.

i couldnt find pucks anywhere either - thats why i used the mallet instead which worked perfectly...during my mission to find pucks i went on ebay looking and found several from the states...i came across a brand new set of 6 pucks for $4 from a company called Lego....thinking i had found a killer deal i ordered them up...and then they came...not in a medium size box on my doorstep....they came in a small envelope in my letter box...i opened them up to discover i had actually ordered toy pucks from the famous childrens building block company! no larger than my thumbnail i came to the conclusion that this was not going to work so i bought a mallet instead - true story

Hate to state the obvious, but the best place for pucks will be your nearest ice skating rink, most will have a hockey team and sell hockey gear. The problem is theirs only around 5 in Aust but Melb and Syd have a few.
