Bump stop options, opinions?

[kellyjohn]

Looking at adding some bump stops to our 2 rigs.

Favoring the Pro Comp units but figure there must be some CK5 members with experience to share what works and what does not, as well as the best place to purchase?

This will be our 1st step before taking the plunge next year installing coils and links!

Gawd I wish I had the money for those right now. Subbing to see what other people comment. I have a set of bumpstops from an s10 that I plan on running. But Poly performance sells these for guys who don't have the money for bumpstops yet: http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/Synergy-Suspension-Budget-Bump-Stop-p-25577.html

The wife has a bunch of stuff that has been swapped.

The PW went through numerous little changes as it was under construction.
Those seat belts of yours were not the first victim.

I'm reminded every time I go in the garage and see the high back Corbeau seats that she wanted and didn't like once they were in the truck....

There are a few leftovers from my projects, but not much.

The joys of building our rigs...

I'm struggling with the price tag on these too.........

I'd be OK with 1 set of 2 for 1 truck (not cheap by any means), but 2 sets gets a bit pricey!!!

We are still trying not to dig into the budget for the trip down for Blazer Bash.

Hard to save and keep chipping away at the list of things to do on the trucks.

Never used them but I have use other pro comp stuff. Seems to be hit and miss with the quality.

Those look an awful lot like Foxs and Radflos bumps so they might be a pretty good bump.

I thought the same when searching.

Thanks for the input!

Wait a minute that is for only one air bump.

No I would not buy them Foxs and Radflos and Bilsteins are cheaper from poly performance all around 175

 

[kellyjohn]

WOW!! Thanks!

I didn't notice that it was for only 1.....!

Are you sure the others are for sets of 2?

 

[ktmoutfront]

Race-Dezert.com if you are not in a hurry. Thier is always a set or two on there.

 

[kellyjohn]

This, website shows 170 for each of those companies and yes that is only for 1. Does anybody have any experience with the Daystar Stinger bump stops? http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/Daystar-Stinger-Bump-Stops-p-26466.html They use foam inserts instead of Nitrogen but are $70 less

 

[kellyjohn]

I have only read complaints about them.

It seems the inserts don't stand up very well and guys have posted to avoid the attractive cheap price tag and get "the good ones".?

Save the money and buy nitrogen ones.

 

[kellyjohn]

May have found a good one...???

This is the best price I have found and a good quality part.

already have the DOM tube that would fit as a mounting tube.

http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/radflo-bump-stop-travel-p-49094.html

The others sell the mount can at around $30.00 each plus shipping, border fees etc...on top of the price of the actual bumps.

I always wonder how much maintenance is required with air bumps? Is it an install em and forget about 'em thing? Or do they need recharged and/or rebuilt with some frequency? Problem I would have is recharging the nitrogen.

I have often thought about air bumps myself but I want something that doesn't need a lot of maintenance. I wonder if they are practical for a non-trailer queen type rig.

I was thinking about the Daystars and my searching yeilded mixed opinions.

You know my truck. It is now a daily driver. Installed them and never have needed to do anything. As long as the seals don't leak, you are good to go. I checked the pressure in them preping for BB last year. We're still at full charge.

I am a huge advocate of istalling air bumps on anything that might bottom out on a regular basis. Any trail rig qualifies.

i'm likin' my Timbrens.

 

[Deuling]

Im gonna go with the Fox 2.0s

For the fact they are made here in the USA, and will match my shocks..



If you want a cheaper one and dont care if they are made in thailand....


Check out Profenders. I think $150 a piece.

Daystars are junk from all ive found..

Some good info in my thread here..

I'm interested in proven, dependable, quality parts, without accidentally buying from the 1st place that pops up online.

I was a bit suprised that these all seem to be in around $200.00 each, but i'm not going to pinch pennies just to regret it later.

We have all at one time or another purchased something and a week later a friend said "I got mine for waaaayyy less"......

I hate when that happens.

That is why I figured forum members may have valuable info regarding manufacturer, supplier, and your overall satisfaction of the parts you already purchased.

Thanks for all the feedback so far!
