That's the deal right there, $100 to the door. Thanks ! On order.. Anyone running them ? Experience?
I've been using PerryParts front and rear on my 460 for 2 years and they've been fantastic.

Thanks for the info
Perry parts on my tundra, they've been great and worked hard on the sand dunes with no issues, even got a little air, I've put several sets on customer's trucks too.

Well... yea.. as long as I can get through the costco speed bumps, those things are monsters..I've had a full set of PerryParts bump stops on mine since last fall. I don't do too much offroading but I've hit a few dips at speed on the way to Costco and the bump stops worked pretty well
Same goes for Sumosprings.....their prices have doubled. I think this "assist spring" bumpstop phenomenon is just good marketing. If you bottom out your suspension routinely , you are set-up wrong
I have Perry's. They seem to stop the bumps.
My rig floats like a Cadillac offroad, and I drive it hard, but I don't think that has much to do with bumpstops. It's more the tires than anything.

- Icon 0-3.5" Stage 4 Suspension System w/Tubular UCAs - I took to 650# fronts off and put 700# since the bumper and winch caused too much squat.
- BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 285/70R17
- Krawl-Tek compound: Enhances grip on slick surfaces and rocks
- CoreGard Max Technology: Protects sidewalls from damage caused by rocks, twigs, and other debris
- Traction Armor Sidewall Sculpture: Protects sidewalls from splitting
- Linear Flex Zone: Allows the tire to flex and envelop objects when aired down
- Mud-Phobic Bars: Help release compacted mud and enhance traction in muddy and soft soil conditions

Well, you definitely have an enviable suspension set up.

Ehh, theres better out there, long travel and all that, but for my purposes, its enough. I had the option of the resi's up front but throttled it down a little and got non resi's
Stick with load range C or lighter, unless you want it to ride like an empty dumptruck.
Hopefully it's adjustable. Any lift over 2" will be tipsy and perform like s*** off-road due to lack of down-travel or "droop".

Putting me through my paces here Poop.
- Adjustable coilovers provide 0-3.5" of lift height
- ICON upper control arms allow for additional wheel travel (when paired with extended travel coilovers) while improving suspension geometry for predictable handling
The KM3s only come in Load E's, but, the caveat is, while the side wall is marked at 80 psi max, BFG recommends 35psi for the GX so that'll soften the ride quite a bit. The rig is mostly used for off road with the occasional on road jaunt when I have no choice.
The Sumosprings marketing where they show people riding the bumpstops as a way to support extra weight is weird. If that's happening, you need stiffer springs.
But bumpstops are part of the suspension setup and are meant to be impacted as the suspension cycles. The fancier bumpstops, especially in the front, make a huge difference off road where you are using your full suspension travel.
Solid axles aren't a down-travel concern, it's the front IFS. 2.5" isn't too crazy.
However, 35 PSI on an E rated tire will still ride like s***. Been there done that. I'd take those back if you can. Mud tires suck in anything other than mud anyway.
