Educate me on bump stops, please!

If you can afford it get new front bump stops. The oem ones are hard as hockey pucks, wheelers or durobumps are way better if you do any offroading or have a rough commute.

 

I see no reason to replace the oem bump stops with my Bilstein 5100's set @ 2", and 1" block in the rear. Your spacer lift is what's causing you concern.

Now saying that, any time you off road, there will be tons of times that you will bottom out. That is why we have them.

 

Yeah the Bilstein coilovers are extended travel, so they can hit the bump stops. But the oem coilovers are not. So an upgrade to my bump stops is necessary until I get my 6112’s. In terms of my spacer level kit, yeah was ignorant when I installed it. And did not plan to off-road the truck. But last summer I did a few times and LOVE it. So now I need to make the truck more off-road capable.

 

So I ordered these. The shop owner said that they are compatible For Tacoma, even though they’re made for a tundra. He did refund half of my money since I only needed two of them, which was cool.

 

I've been thru a few bump stops and by far my favorite setup is Wheelers Superbumps up front and the Archive Speed Bumps in the rear. So plush when you hit them.

I wouldn't space the stock bumps. The idea is upgrade them and not have your truck break your spine when you bottom out.

 

Yeah I may go that route after I get my Bilstein’s and I’m unsatisfied with how the shocks perform When they bottom out on the oem bump stops. I’m just getting some extensions right now. I’m only concerned about the shocks bottom out, causing damage.

 

You are definitely overthinking this, and I hope you don't hate your truck after making these changes. But to each their own.

 

Go run some hard g outs back to back with a better bump you bet you'll notice a difference.

 

Well, it is getting nice out and I want to hit some trails I saw on OnX, so I rather be safe then sorry. Be a few months before I get my Bilsteins, so a 26 dollar investment in some extensions to my oem bump stops is well worth it. I don’t want my stock shocks to bottom out. With my 3” lift, they may before hitting the bump stops. This will ensure they don’t. Make sense to me. Also, if I was waisting my time, I believe others in this thread would have pointed that out. Tacoma World has never let me down. Very experienced and knowledgeable people in here that I highly respect. Unlike some of the Tacoma Facebook forums.
