One thing to consider as well for limiting upward travel is in case your wheel will contact your body due to an aggressive offset.
What bump stops are you running?

Taller tire size especially if youre not running a taller spring. i'm at 1.5" rear lift and the 33's are CLOSE

I was referring more to the wheel vs the tire.
For example, I ran SCS 17x8.5 with -10mm offset and it was fine at full tuck. This was with 285/70/1 BFG KO2's.
So from that perspective, running stock bumps are fine. I was concerned that the tires would not tuck and actually strike the fender.
I'm now on SCS 17x9 with -38mm offset. I have not yet verified that my tires will tuck properly (sub flush with respect to the fender). Thus, having taller bumpstops can help prevent this situation from occurring.

oh for the front, for sure. wider offset means it swings in a bigger arc. again your goals of what you wanna do with the truck will somewhat dictate how much travel you can actually get out of the stock pivot points. PIVOTTTTTT
-38 offset looks amazing

Are bump stops beneficial even with stock suspension?
I have a 18’ Pro with stock bilsteins and a cornfed 2” front / 1.5” rear spacer lift. Just picked up some energy suspension bump stops for the front.
Want to go with durobump stops for the rear but don’t know if I should go with their 1.5” or 4.25” stops?

They can aid in easing bottom outs. If you aren't hitting your bumpstops alot then Id say dont worry about it.
If you do go for them, I believe you want to get the shorter bumpstop as its designed for 2inches or less of lift. If you go taller, you'd be limiting your uptravel.

Get OEM toyota ones - the LEXUS GX ones that I mentioned. They're softer than the stock T4R due to the construction (think swiss cheese).

I just got those and will install this weekend!

Mounted the energy suspensions at the front and the Toyota GX at the rear, very easy install thanks to [MENTION=411635]Sundy[/MENTION]!
We did a quick test drive and we noticed that now the impact is much more soft and smooth.
I think it’s really worth to upgrade for that price.

What’s Your suspension setup?
I thought I didn't bottom out with my 2.5" front lift - put in the Energy Suspension front bump stops for ~$33 and I still noticed an improvement in big bumps/off-road.
They are a bit longer and a lot softer, provide a bit more of a progressive stop vs. the OEM brick. I don't even notice speedbumps anymore.

Had them on for a week and they feel great! I ordered the 1.5" rears that are meant for stock to mild lift. Running them with Kings set to 0 preload and stock rear springs.

Interesting thread. I never thought of upgrading bump stops, but it makes a lot of sense. I went with Energy Suspension bump stops for the front, and Durobump 3.5inch bump stops for the rear. I'm on a 2F\1R inch lift. The Energy bump stops are about an inch to an inch and a half taller than the stock front stops. Do they actually compress enough to not limit up travel? Thanks!
Just noticed a mistake on SDHQ website where I ordered the Durobump "1.5inch" rear bump stops from. 1.5inch would actually be shorter than the stock bump stops, so wouldn't work. The part number for the listed "Durobump stop 1.5inch" rear bump stops is DBR35. It must actually be 3.5inch tall, not 1.5inch that is described. Makes sense since the 4.25inch tall ones have part number DBR425, and meant for 2+ inch rear lifts.
Hopefully avo1789 can confirm this

I got the energy bump stops at the front too, I will be off-roading this weekend so I will test them out properly and try to bottom them out.
Anyway, even if taller, they are much softer (I can compress them with my hand a bit) compare to stock. I am pretty confident they won't limit travel at all, especially if lifted.

I bottom out frequently enough, particularly on semi maintained roads at speed coming across dry washes, it always catches my rear. The suspension is beautiful and sucks it up fantastically but definitely using all it has, I need a touch heavier/taller CO spring in front for sure. The back, I am still working out.
I have durobumps in the front with TC lowers+spacer and OEM with 2" toytec spacer in the back, I can say you really notice when the back end does compared to the not even feeling it up front.
I have been wanting to upgrade the back for ages and have been stuck between the Lexus and a set of timbren, I really wish someone would post pics and reviews of either. So hard to find/see anything on either of these.

I can't provide a lot of valuable feed back as I've only had the Durobumps and Sonoran Steels Daystar setup in the rear.
What I can say is that the aftermarket stops I have run have been considerably softer/more progressive than the OEM stops which to me was jarring to say the least. I prefer the Daystar that I run now because overall they are shorter and I'm getting more up travel than with the Durobumps. For me I feel it made the feel of the travel cycle in the rear much more fluid for lack of a better description.
I don't know if that helps much.

Oh yeah the stock rears are terrible to say the least!
For sure, any info is valuable.
I am particularly interested in the how the Lexus deals with a mild ~2-3" lift as it looks like it has a "cage" for and aft and the Timbren says nothing about performance and added height. While I don't think it matters that much most of my curiosity is how square they come in contact with the rear dif during compression.

Installed Energy Suspension bump stops in front, and DuroBumps in the back. Didn't get to test it off road yet, just regular driving. Honestly, I'm not sure I notice anything different during regular driving. The front bump stops have about ¼inch to ¾inch of a gap between the stop and the lower control arm. Pretty sure I've hit it a few times already. I think I feel like the the ride in front is smoother when going over bumps. I have to try it off road, and see how it is when flexing, and on drop offs.
I just got the rears today, so haven't driven with the DuroBumps in the rear yet. I'm sure it'll be similar, and won't notice any difference in ride during regular driving. I can confirm that the DuroBumps DBR35 that are listed and described as 1.5inch are actually 3.5inch for 0 - 2inch rear lift which makes sense being that the stock rear stops are around 2.5inch. Wouldn't make any sense if they were shorter than stock. The DuroBumps being rubber are a lot softer than the Energy Suspension flex polyurathane stops. I'm hoping the Energy Suspension stops up front won't take away any up travel.
