Dude...why do you think you need to change out the bump stops? Are you experiencing any bottoming out under less than severe conditions? I've got an '07 OR with stock suspension and sliders and the only time I bottom out is off roading with a ton of gear. Now, lately I have shortened my stock bump stops to minimize the bottoming while fully loaded, but it wasn't completely necessary.07BlackOR said:I'm still not sure if I need them or I don't.
My 07 Off Road will be on a stock suspension with Shrockworks sliders, no towing and mild off roading (for now). Do I need to or is it advisable that I change out the bumpstops?
Thanks
I am really thinking I need to consider these as my next mod I seem to feel the bottom on the slightest dip in the road.mcampana said:"Dude...why do you think you need to change out the bump stops?

I agree, thats when i hit bottom as well. Severe offroading, or offroading packed full of stuff.

Hence the price tag...Turtle said:Ah, Timbrens must be explained.
They are not a conventional hard rubber bump stop, but a softer more pliable rubber. They dissapate (sp?) the energy of a hard bottom out as the axle travels to the final upward travel point. It's basically a bottoming out damper. Kinda like an end of stroke compression dampening. The axle still stops its upward travel in a similar position as the original hard bump stop though (might lose .125-.25" up travel as somebody pointed out in another post).
Thanks man.... it's a vast difference driving this tankDBAX said:Welcome aboard Wiggum!
