Mike's (Redswan) 2005 4x4 sport edition

so what to do next?

I am thinking about some hydraulic/air bump stops to help with bottoming out.

any suggestions?

I believe King or Fox had a kit with weld-on brackets. I will see if I can find the link as I was looking at them myself.
 
I really like those Icon ones (plus I have a thing for Icon) too bad they are so darn expensive. $700 :wow:

That is what kept me from buying them. I think I will end up with the a Fox 2.0 bumps. 2" front, 4" rear travel with weld on cans. But I am torn about the front ones versus the rubber timbern bumps stops and just doing air bumps in the rear..

This complete kit from Metal Tech looks pretty cool though..

If you're into the high speed desert romping then you should consider Wheelers Superbump's over the Timbren's. You'll probably still want air bumps afterwards though...

I have a friend who has that kit and really likes it. I don't think I could do the front ones with my dual shock kit.

any pictures of that front kit (your friends) mounted? Does it interfere with the Dual Front shocks?

For my needs i think the superbumps might be good starting point. If i out grow them i can get air bumps. Do you know if wheelers offers something for the rear? i didn't see them on the site.

Last I heard they're still trying to figure out what kind of brackets to make for the rears. They're nice though for the front, when I hit the bumps I can't even tell they're there. I've had an extra set of superbump's laying around for a few months now and I'm trying to figure out how to fit them to the rear. Maybe I'll ask BAMF Jerry if he has any scrap pieces of metal to rig something up.
 
I don't have any pics of his set up, but the set up mounts like this:

and mine



i think that they occupy the same space. :(

Yeah Mike, I think even when people go LT its either/or hydro's or secondary shocks. Since you have the shock hoops already, is saving up for bypasses an option? Adjustable comp/rebound would probably benefit you tons. (edit - I retract this statement, bypasses for the rear would be much better)

Although your current setup would stay intact if you got a set of superbump's. They're nice and cheap too.
