This IS a great thread.
I guess the question is why use anything on stock suspension?
My take is that the bump stop is last resort. You should not be riding the bump stops. Stock in the desert requires slow speeds no matter the bump stop.
I still don't have any. I don't need any in the rear. The 8000 series does not need a bump stop in the rear for sure. And I am using compression at nearly the softest!
The front, I am still at least 10 months away from going 8000 in the front. I am waiting for the 8112 with adjusters and the development of those was pushed down the road.
I just looked at duro bumps for under 100 delivered. The issue here is "square hits" otherwise I can do bumps to where the suspension is fully unloaded (up to an inch of air per the pics; would not dare do more), no hits.
But I don't think I will because I fear they will make me go faster
Bottom line: it ain't a race car, hitting the bump stops is a good thing because it tells you to slow down under said conditions.
So that's my contrarian 2c Happy Thanksgiving!
