Bump stop question (1 Viewer)

[JDUB fab]

What y’all running and how do you like them. I’m in the market and just looking for some feedback between brands.
So far I like duropump, timbren or maybe a spacer to run the oem ones.
Will be upgrading both front and rear.

I've been running DuroBumps for around a year and like them. They've done a good job in removing the harsh/jarring feeling of bottoming out the suspension. They are pretty simple (just a replacement bump stop with a few different layers or rubber) and easy to install.

Anyone have experience with the metal tech spacers? If so, what size did you get and how much lift do you have/what springs in the rear. The only ones I can find on there website that explicitly say they fit the GX 460 are the 3” ones, which are intended for LT rear, 12” shocks. The 2” versions say they are compatable with FJs and 4runners, me thinks they would work for our rigs too? Especially because I don’t have the airbag bump stops.

Forgot to mention in the OP but I am running Dobinson springs, a little over 3” of lift. Currently regular travel Dobinson IMS shocks in the rear and extended travel in the front.

I believe there's been quite a bit of discussion about the Timbrens. But I can't remember if it's on this forum or when I had my 100 series LC and on that forum.
If you do a search for Timbren, I'm sure you'll fine the threads. I remember there was some good info about them and if I remember right even some install info.

I used Wheelers Off Road on my 100 series up front, since Timbrens are ridiculously priced. They worked great. Did lots of comparison measurement and pictures (searchable in the 100 forum), since I had 2 100 series that were similarly set up.

With my ironman lift, I have yet to bottom out the front suspension frequently enough to ponder putting them on. You do lose some low-speed articulation as a trade off for avoiding high-speed bottoming. Not a tradeoff "I" need to make right now. IIRC, I used 4Runner bump stops from Wheelers since they didn't make a 100 series specific model.

What is your main goal with new bump stops? Travel limit in rear? Bottoming out F/R?

Although not GX specific, lots of good discussion here...

Wheeler Offroad "Superbumps" installed.

So after reading on a few forums about Wheelers Offroad bump stops I found that the part number that fits the FJ Cruiser is also compatible with the LC100/LX470 chassis. Over the LCA there are two positions where you will find the OEM bump stops. You could mount the Wheelers "Superbumps" in all...
