Are rear superbumps worth it?

    I recently ordered a set of superbumps for the front and rear, but have only installed the front. They are completely worth it and have made a noticeable difference on rough high speed road.

    However I have a hard time seeing them useful in the back. When try to flex the rear as much as possible it is already very difficult to get the stock bumbs to hit, so while just hitting high speed bumps it seems like the superbumbs would never come into play. I do have King OEM and deaver leafs so that does add some more support than stock. Thoughts?

    Those must be some serious speed bumps if you’re bottoming out over them! They do sell spacers to increase the height; not sure if that would get you where you want to be. So in you second stuffed pic, they’re not even close to touching? Are you hitting hard over whoops? I did super bumps in the front, and they’ve worked well, but for the rear I went with air bumps.

    I think I've only bottomed the back once. In that pic it is still about 1.5 inches from hitting the stock bump. I may just return them since I haven't install them yet, they don't seem like they'd even be used much, but I may be wrong... maybe I should get video under the truck on rough roads and see how close it's getting.

    Helps with stress if you load down your bed but also allow for more movement then the air bags do for off roading. I liked them after my lift cause I do a lot of stuff for my house that loads the rear end way down.
