Bump stop question

Hey guys new to a Tacoma and trucks in general. Have had my OR for about 5 months now. Been wondering about what looks like that cone shaped rubber pad that sits above the leafs. That's the stock bump stop right?

Had my bed pretty loaded with weight a few days ago and went to the slouch the back end had and it was about an inch away from that rubber looking cone. If that is the bump stop is that sufficient enough of a bump stop or should I invest in a better one?

I do haul significant weight about 2 to 3 (about 20-30 cases of water, did ask if the stock suspension can handle in another thread a while back just wondering about that bump stop) times a week. I've only done some very light off roading once since ownership.

Your time and input is greatly appreciated!

 

If you're loaded down and driving reasonably there's no reason the bump stop shouldn't handle the abuse of a truck at GVW on road. It will be rough if you do hit the bump stop though...

 

If you regularly haul loads then look into some kind of additional support, like airbags or sumo springs. They won't increase your carrying capacity but will allow you to sit more level and utilize more of your suspension travel.

 

If you are hitting the bump stop often you might consider installing Wheelers Offroad Superbumps. You will notice a much softer impact with these over the stock bumpstops.

 

Sumo Springs highly suggested, especially on the softer suspension models like the OR's & Pros. they are great and perform more gradually and consistently than the stock bump stops. they are super effective and affordable.

 

I love my sumo's only issue is I have the tundra comparable ones so they ride on the frame rails and give me a slightly stiffer ride. If I have a few hundred pounds of camping gear back there it's smooth and very pleasant.

 

Timbrens, better bump for towing.

Air bags or sump springs or replacement leaf packs are also good options

 

Timbrens only better for towing I'd guess? My buddy installed timbrens and then switched to super bumps because the timbrens were too harsh when he bottomed-out while wheeling.

 

Yessir.
