    I have hydros on all 4 corners. They’re loud as hell. Constantly clicking as you’re loading and unloading the suspension through fast stuff.

    Guess I need to turn the radio up.

    I'm sure all the extremely loud music in my youth may help in this situation.

    However... my wife is not deaf like I am... she doesn't hear them either.

    I'm sure there are cheaper options. My quick search came to king and fox and I think they were $400 per can.

    yes, fox DSCs. No, about an inch to the bumper.

    yours being long travel, I would think the bumps are engaged a lot less frequently than a MT setup.

    Interesting. That makes me want to check mine and compare. Then again I would have to cut out a lot of the apron to clear the 35's past the point of my current max uptravel. I'm sure the CV's could handle fine. iirc at full bump they're at less of an angle than they are at full droop.

    @unstpible perry bumps showed up today. Excited to swap those out and see how they compare to the durobumps.

    Even with LT, the way the bumps get mounted to the frame, the LCA only moves up about 1/2~3/4 of an inch before it hits the bumpstop.

    Threw in some Bilstein 5100’s with OME 881’s and the driver side spacer for the Taco lean, also removed the sway bar and man it’s like a new truck! Now time to take Frank in for new paint here in the next few months.

    I love seeing 3d printed stuff make its way into the auto world. I'm curious how those will hold up. Really cool.

    They have a lot to show for the details on their site, if anyone is interested:
