Timbren Suspension Enhancers versus Wheeler's SuperBump Bump Stops?

I was thinking about upgrading the bump stops on my 2013 Tacoma Double Cab 4WD 4.0L Limited. I REALLY like dealing with Wheeler's and know they make great stuff. I was thinking about putting the Timbren sets in the front and back, but have noticed that a lot of guys seem to be putting the Wheeler's SuperBumps on the front and the Timbren setup on the back. Is there a reason for that? What setup do you guys recommend for my truck? Here are some of my truck specs:

OME 52887 Coils in front
Icon Progressive 3 leaf add-a-leafs in the rear
Bilstein 5100 shocks all around

Any input is GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Ken

 

IMO, the timbren ones are WAY over priced.... that much for a piece of rubber, jezus.

 

I agree, they are a bit pricey, but was wondering if anyone has any feedback about performance, etc. You know, useful info
Just kidding, but would like to know how both brands perform.
Thanks again,
Ken

 

I have Superbumps and they're nice. You can't even tell when they bottom out. I heard the Timbrens tend to bouncy on the rebound.

 

I have had timbrens on two previous vehicles, they are great for load carrying, but are stiff enough to limit articulation.

 

Thanks guys, that is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for.
Thanks again,
Ken

 

I have heard Timbren's are better for towing while SuperBumps are better for offroading. (I have SuperBumps FYI and like them)

Thanks Matt. I don't do a whole lot of off roading, but build my truck kin of with the attitude that it is better to have and not need than to need and not have. It is my "every day driver" even though I don't put a LOT of miles on them. What do you guys think a wannabee like me should use (and is the most prudent choice? Damn I am getting old. The last time I heard "prudent used in a sentence I think I was either in my teens or drunk (or both).

I think SuperBumps would be a good choice, although there are cheaper alternatives that are still a little better than the stock crap. I think Daystar, All Pro Offroad, and some others makes polyurethane ones that are pretty good.

I have Superbumps on the front, and the difference from stock is considerable. No more jarring hard hit, thinking you broke something from driving through a pothole.

 

I have Timbrens for towing not off roaring. keep the bed from bottoming out. I like them

 

Thanks guys. I have had good luck with DayStar parts too, them and Energy Suspension, but mainly for bushings, etc.
Robm7, how is the daily driving with the Timbren setup in the rear?
Thanks again to all.
Ken

 

Driving is normal with them, there is a 1/2 to 1 inch gap between it.

 

Gotcha. Like RaceCarGuy said, I have been hearing more about the "bounce back", especially on the front Timbrens setup. Decisions, decisions...
Thanks again,
Ken

 

Good luck

 

Thanks man. I always need all the luck I can muster up, not matter what the situation

 

I just installed Sumo suspension set up for front and rear. I have loaded my truck up with off-road protection, which added a bit of weight, plus pull a boat from time to time. Mine look about the same as the others, not sure which are better. I really noticed a big difference in the ride, not as bouncy, and no dip diving into the corners. When the boat is connected, ride is smooth as well.

 

I have the SuperBumps and like them. I don't tow, but I haul a lot of equipment so I sometimes bottom out the rear. The Wheeler's really smooth it out - it almost feels like you're still going through the spring compression. WAY better than stock! And they're reasonably priced.

 

I heard the Timbrens will buck real bad when off roading!

 

Superbumps in front, which are AMAZING for offroading, and GM Silverado bump stops in the rear, both the mismatch bump stops made of the same material are EXCELLENT for offroading, and absorbing the blow of landing from a jump while offroading.
