junkyard rear bump stops

[lhsoulrebel]

Have a pair in the garage.
New suspension going on this weekend. Will try and document this.
Just want people too realize when using these that there are a lot of variables that need to be checked, and just slapping these on might not be the only step needed.
You need to determine if your particular setup needs further adjustments of spacing down further / or cutting shorter.
Can't wait to experiment!!!!
A big thanks too whoever originally discovered these for us;-)

Hey rideall, any progress with the bump stop project... Very interested in this, as I am starting to max out my rear suspension travel on trails, and I am worried about damaging my ride... Thanks

[MENTION=44220]BigFishAllDay[/MENTION] I think your last post in here got deleted with that recent site hiccup. I grabbed it from the email I got and quoted it here. I don't know if the pictures were originally embedded or not though.

Edit: Quote removed, it's reposted below.

[MENTION=91297]Kraze[/MENTION] , thanks man. I didn't feel like re-typing the post so I was just gonna let it go.

I put these bumpstops on my '97 a month or two back, and finally had a chance to flex the rear end and see how the "junkyard" rear bump stops perform. I've been curious how much they limit uptravel and control my LC 7.5 wraps.

Based on what I saw, these things work very well with LC coils in the rear. They limit uptravel just enough to prevent rubbing the stock rear bumper with the rear edge of the tire, and they keep the shock from fully compressing and becoming the bumpstop. When everything is compressed, they hit the axle tube dead center, and they're softer than the stock bumpstop. I thought they'd be too soft and just squish way down when compressed, but they held up well to the compression force. I left mine completely intact and did not trim the lower ring as others have done in this thread. Works for me.

Here's the pics...

I made sure the D/S was at full droop, and hung the rear wheel...

Here's the bump on the P/S.

i went to a yard today to check on these, man, they were all dry rotted and crusty! every single truck looked like they came from the north because the frames were so rusted and scaly.

I was thinking I would probably find the same thing. Need to make it to Napa to see how much a pair of new ones is.

I'd be interested in something like a Napa part number as replacements.

Thanks for the info. Got mine at local wrecking yard for $17

These bump stops are supper soft!!!!!!!
Make sure the shock doesn't bottom out at full flex.

[MENTION=83198]shmabs[/MENTION], resurrecting this thread...do you happen to have any more of these? Thx.

 

[shmabs]

Sorry, no. I actually haven’t had a third gen 4runner in years. I do currently have a 4th gen, but it still has stock rear bumps.

I bought these from another member on here. Was told they were offered on some stock versions (haven't confirmed). But visually and softness are VERY similar to the stock version but taller.

I've had them installed for about a month now, but haven't tested at full flex.

Check em out.

Good luck

For those wondering the part number for these Blazer bump stops is 15962403

What do you use for the front bump stop?

Durobump makes good replacements for front, made a world of difference on my car

Love my durobumps. It’s like bottoming out on pillows even with the the 6112/5160 shock combo.

For the street/daily guy they’re probably a waste. But since my 4Runner and I have a relationship similar the relationship I had with one of my exes…… We do a lot of weird stuff, and she takes all my money…..[emoji16]

For the aggressive off-road or high speed crowd, I think it’s money extremely well spent. I would easily buy again every day of the week and twice on Sunday. They do a lot more than I thought they would, I’ll say that. When you look at all of the other options on the market for Jounce control, it certainly is a very simple and inexpensive solution.

Going fast is where they really shine imo. If you're like me and constantly go too fast on rutted out service roads, they make life a lot more manageable :bravo:

Totally agree. There’s times it limits articulation maybe just a tad too soon, but I’d say it’s a welcome trade off. It’s certainly not bad, but you do feel it touch often on the rocks.

But in the high speed 45-55mph rally on fire roads it’s pretty damn sweet.
