Bump stops
I was wondering if anyone has used these
Wheeler’s Front SuperBump Bumpstop
http://wheelersoffroad.com/product/m...p-bumpstop-set
Or
Timbren Bump Stops
https://www.allprooffroad.com/034run...suspension/484
The wheelers are way cheaper but I don't know if they are good
I have never bottomed out in the front or rear but didn't think $50 was too much to try in case I start jumping the runner?!

Id go with the wheelers. Based on what Ive seen on Tacomaworld, the Timbren's are really stiff and arent much better than stock. The wheelers are a nice softer foam that actually compress a lot and slow down the suspension before stopping completely. I just put in an order for a set.

I have the Timbrens up front and I've been happy with em so far. They are definitely softer than the OEM bumps, never used the wheeler's bumps though so I can't make any comparison.

No problem. I think this guy runs them, and definitely puts them through a lot of abuse.

WOW! That looks like a nice rig. Hey brother, if you are in here, Im sure you already know, but you need to rework your front spring and shock package. Your truck will work a lot better up front once you do. You have a very sweet looking rig. I would hate to see you destroy it, especially when you have some of the parts already there to make it work so much better. Good luck and be safe my man.

If you're going to get into jumping, look into spindle gussets too.

mostly the dude killing his truck in the video. Yours though. I do like the newer bump stops. I was just starting to look into this area now that my chassis setup is done for now.

You do realize that truck is custom built for exactly what he's doing right? He doesn't need to rethink anything of his suspension.

That isnt my truck, just to be clear. I found the video on tacomaworld and posted it here cause he is running the wheelers bumpstops and uses them, hard. As LTDSC said, its a long travel tacoma, its pretty perfect for jumping, although he could use some real hydraulic bumps to help with those harsh landings.

Hmm thats odd. I wonder if thats the back cause he posted it in a thread about the wheelers bumps saying he was running them. Oh well, haha, still a cool video.
