My 2044 mustang front bucket is extending too far and pulling the hydraulic hoses out of the fittings.
I believe it is because the bumpers are missing,
Where do I find those?

Thats unusual, make sure the cylinder, top mounts aren't broke, the tube of cylinder itself should not move other than its pivots
back & forth as it extended & retracted. never had one pull hoses because of missing stops

That's the first thing we thought, so we had the cylinders checked, 1 had a worn seal so it was fixed, we have torn out 2 more within 2 months of each other while digging . They all have pulled out in the retraction, (sorry, its not the extending)

Might have bad fittings or wrong fittings, assuming they blew out from hi oil pressure to cylinders during retraction. can you post a picture?

This is the last hose that pulled out, this 1 had been replaced 2 months ago, the hydraulic fluid was a bit low,

Looks like the end just blew off from a poor crimp. i would suggest whoever is crimping or making your hose
is not getting a good crimp,. or wrong hose used for the fitting

this is very true, hose and fittings must be compatiable with each other or this happens , or they will not go together at all .

let me also say depending on what style compression press they are using ,someone might be using the wrong sleeve compression die.
