    so i have a set of rear U-bolt flip kit for my tacoma from archive garage. they came with superbumps bump stops, and stand... I'm looking at options for the front. I am installing a 2.4" Dobinsons MRR/MRA suspension front and rear. with JBAoffroad high castor UCA's.. From what I see superbumps offers a bump stop that works in conjuntion with the factory bump stop, if I get these should i get the "tuning" spacers?? I also see timbren has their line.. https://realtruck.com/p/timbren-sus...ic&utm_campaign=free-pla&utm_content=surfaces

    any other suggestions? not looking into getting $300-600 hydro bumps on my DD...

    All the things!
    I have the front and rear Durobump bump stops. They're very high quality and short of "hydro" bumps, I think they're the best quality option for us. I'm sure others will argue...

    https://toyotabumpstops.com/product-category/tacoma/3rd-gen-tacoma/

    If you have any questions about them, ask @Plastics Guy. I believe they offer a TW discount as well.

    Good luck!

    Wheelers up front, the “custom” tool they provided still needed some modification though

    I’ll be going with durobumps in the future. Side question, does anyone use bump stop spacers in the front?

    I paid $189 for my U bolt flip kit w Timbrens. Steal of a deal if you ask me and I like them more than superbumps.

    Could you elaborate on what you like about them? It seems the general consensus(from my limited research) on TW is Timbrens is better for towing/hauling and Superbumps are better for off-roading because the timbrens have some rebound.

    From what I’ve experienced with no weight in the bed they feel nice and cushioned. Overall I like the size of them more and the softness. I can squeeze them with my hand and I haven’t had any issues with rebounding. I’ll be getting my rtt in by the end of the month hopefully and with the weight of camping gear and other things it should ride really nice. Keep in mind I have no idea what I’m talking about, just my experience thus far:rofl:

    Hey guys, wanted to chime in on the discussion. Happy to help answer any questions about our Bumpstops or SES (suspension enhancement system). If you do end up needing a suspension guru we have some of those, although we call them suspension techs and they’d LOVE to talk with you about your rig.

    How do you like the MRR/MRA's? Were they fairly easy to find your sweet spot for onroad driving/offroad settings? I have yet to install mine, just getting all the parts together now...
    my rear shocks are on backorder until the end of September... doh...

    I got impatient so I'm going to go ahead with install in 1 week, I ordered a set of "shock extenders" from Toytec, the stock shocks should work fine for temporary onroad..

    I just need the ECGS bearing removal tool (or fabricate my own.)...

    MRR rear shocks should be SUPER simple install (when they arrive). Hell, I might not even jack up the truck to do them...

    Aye, I had to cut the tool down to work it with a socket eventually. Frustrating, but worth it. The front bumps and rear wheelers u bolt flip with SuperBumps has made a noticeable difference for me
