    I got Wheelers front bumps. I'll send ya a video later that will make you want them. The stock bump is pretty much a rock.

    I still need to order bumps. Fronts are stock and rears are the generic all pro bumps

    I think I saw some videos on these a few days ago. Right after I watched them, I contacted Wheeler's offroad and picked up both front and rear, along with the flip kit. My current bottoming experience is unpleasant to say the least.

    That's exactly how it was for me. Came across this video where the guy had the go pro underneath the truck. Once I saw how the good the bumps work I bought some right away.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Damn these things are huge!

    Didn't have all my tools with me on install so used what was supplied. Tightening stuff with the little end of the allen wrench is a pain. I got a ball end allen wrench I'll bring tomorrow if your going to mod day Denny. The LCA gets in the way so with a ball end allen you can tighten at a slight angle making it a little easier.little...

    Haha tube bender doesn't fit in the car or the truck. I saw a sweet design I might do for my brother's truck since he hates the stock bumper.

    I can't decide on a tube bumper. I want one that is low profile but retains a tow hitch (not factory). And has room for (protected) backup lights. Probably the 6" long LED pods from @CaliRaisedLed

    Yeah I hit a good drainage ditch in Riverside at speed and felt my rear end hit the bumps... Ew it's uncomfortable. I didn't realize they'd work without a U-bolt flip?

    Me too. Going to go with their front tube bumper later down the line. Almost got their sliders before going with Ryan's here on the forum.

    You won't need to pull anything apart to install bumpstops. It's pretty easy, just jack the truck up from the frame and let the suspension droop
