Howdy! Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to SumoSprings for the front and back?

    Timbren but it’s usually the same price. I wouldn’t bother with any other products

    i use the timbren ones on the back of my 18 off road, they are pretty much the same price as sumo but a tiny bit cheaper on Amazon.

    The sumos upfront made a noticeable difference in ride quality for me and I think they were well worth the cost for my situation.
    My truck is a fat pig with stiff suspension and the body roll is real, less so now

    Got some for $80 shipped from Alibaba. No difference from the Sumosprings side by side other than color. It's just a block of rubber I am not sure how they get away with the price.

    Not using the same durometer and or kind of material is almost certainly a big part of it. Not having to pay for research and development of the stolen patent, in addition to not having to honor warranties or be held liable for law suits are the other parts

    I ran DuroBumps up front and Timbren on the rear for a while. Got the Sumo's on a Black Friday sale last year and didn't look back. They definitely work. So nice to not have the jarring bump anymore. I'm a fan of the "buy once, cry once" mentality.

    I’ve got a set front and rear that were on my truck for about 1,500 miles. I ended up going to the ICON RXT and Perry Parts bumpstops. $225 plus shipping for front and rears.
