Timbren Industries Bump Stop Install **PIC HEAVY**

I love them! The Ubolt is a plus as well... once I finally decide on leafs I think it'll be a match made in heaven lol

 

Oh shit just realized your a sponsor! Nevermind. just kidding man. I think im just sitting here not working so of course im second guessing spending any types of cash. Just keep reading these "bouncy" posts. But my superbumps are outweighed so i think im good. But maybe im not!!!! Haha thanks

 

Going over speed bumps at 50 mph or so, the front end with Wheelers Superbumps is noticeably less harsh than the rear end with Timbrens. I carry no weight in the back except for a tri-fold tonneau cover.

 

Thanks for the info @KenLyns

 

So yeah, small thread revival. What's the thickness of the u bolts used in the timbren u bolt kit? I was thinking 1/2in but I just want to double check.

 

Nice write up. These seem a little expensive to me for what they are.... Maybe its just me

 

that’s what I thought at first as well but after having these for over a year I have to say to have a quality product that had the proper RnD plus it’s a u bolt flip kit all in one it was worth it and a win win imo. Plus it’s much cheaper than hydraulic bump stops. Also it depends on application. I do light off road but wanted added protection, if you tow or carry loads air bags may be a better option. Heavy application fox, king, icon etc for strut versions. At the end of the day do what works neat for you but don’t risk performance/protection for just a small amount of money. A bent frame will make the cost of these seem like pennies.

 

Nice write-up!
I installed Timbrens on the rear end of my 2016 off-road to help with towing our travel trailer and prevent premature shock wear.
They are awesome when the truck is loaded, especially with the trailer hooked-up. They prevent sag, and smooth out the ride considerably. The down side for me is the noticeably harsher ride when unloaded. I followed the Timbren recommendation and purchased the tortun 4 bumps, although they seem a bit too tall. There's about an inch of gap between the bumps and the frame, which closes quickly going over bumps translating to the harsh unloaded ride. I wish they were slightly shorter.
No worries, though... They're easy to remove and re-install, so I just install in the spring for the camping season, and replace the stock bumps in the fall when we park the camper for the winter.

 

Anyone can compare the Sumo #SSR 610-40/47 with the ABSTRFK ? I want something that can absorb and contain the energy. I don't want flashback from my 1st gen!!
