    Which are the best and why?

    saw these recently. Seems new, cheaper than the rest, and claims to be the best

    DuroBumps and SuperBumps cost over twice more than Perry AeroBumps,
    Energy Suspension bumps are $40 but look solid poly, basic, and harsh

    For rear I’m guessing best is yellow poly u bolt flip kit ones from Archive

    No such thing as "best" for everyone. Depends on the suspension configuration your truck is running.

    Never heard of that brand before but I don't buy parts from Instagram.

    probably because it’s a new brand

    do you buy parts from YouTube?

    I do not buy parts from YouTube, lots of shills. I read TacomaWorld and then make my own decisions based on my own needs.

    Maybe you should buy some of these new bumps and let everyone know how they work out?

    I bought some.....I'll let you know if they survive some easy to moderate wheeling with high speed sections throughout.

    I have only used SumoSprings, front and rear. They are the "best" for me. I would buy them again if I got a new truck. They help with handling on curves, absorbing rough roads and maintain a level posture when loaded. I don't find them too rough on the ride.

    I currently have the front and rear sets from Perry Parts.

    The front ones perform AMAZING...like the front end does not hard bottom out at all and when it does bottom out, I don't even know if it is but allow for the front Bilstein 6112's coilovers to do work dampening without any abrupt stop.

    Patrick from Perry Parts is having me test different rear compounds to dial them in with little to no weight over the rear, other than the bed itself. I have Bilstein 5160s in the rear and no additional leaves, blocks, or new leaf packs.

    My wheeling is generally forest roads, fire roads, and desert with whoop sections at speed (of course big trophy truck flat top whoops require a speed reduction). On the more technical wheeling side, the bump stops did not negatively affect my wheel travel/articulation while doing moderate to difficult trails on the backside of the Calico Mountains (Odessa, etc.).

    As far as customer service/warranty, I messaged him on Instagram about my rear bump stops just feeling too firm, and he responded and now is working with me to dial them in further. So, if you do destroy one, I have no doubt he will respond ASAP.

    They seem to work well. No issues. Easy to install. Glad to have peace of mind replacing the old stock ones

    I’ve got wheelers super bumps in the front of my stock Prerunner. 125K on crappy original shocks and they’ve helped the front end some. Sumos in the rear. I need new shocks though.

    WTF? Those things look like they are 3D printed... no way I would run those. Even if they used NinjaTek TPU they probably only take a few bumps before they come apart. Granted TPU has some of the best layer adhesion, that's only relative to 3D printing. Compared to injection molding, you might as well buy a Wish.com product.

    So looking at the video, they are indeed 3D printed, its not a solid infil, and they used the same infil patern I used in my RC car tires ‍

    :facepalm:

    Now I know why they are cheap.

    If you do get these, only use them for LIGHT offroading without any added weight. No way these have the strength of a molded bumpstop.

    I mean that is just an assumption, Yes they are 3d printed but we do not know what process or material they are using. They come with a 1 year no questions asked warranty.

    Wheelers superbumps checking in. I love saving money but i dont like gambling with new products. It was an easy choice seeing how much support and the length of threads that extended for years on TW with great reviews.

    The only other bumpstop i would consider is a set of air bumps from one of the know manufacturers.

    Definitely in this case, you get what you pay for.

    I use them and mob through the desert. They still look brand new... But, to each their own.

    I did a 4-corner FOX 2.5 shock/coilover upgrade (from stock) + Deaver Stage IIIs on the back. Accutune U-bolt flip kit + Accutune's foam bump stops on the rear. So far so good.

    Now I want to do the simple front bump-stop upgrade. But I just absolutely cannot fathom paying $175-$200 for a pair of rubber bushings attached to bolts. Why are the upgraded molded front bump stops so #($@^#@ expensive?! These aren't machined parts like hydraulic bumps or shocks or whatever. They're small, light, monolithic injection-molded bits of polymer. Probably costs $3 each to make in quantities of 10,000. $65 would be a fair price, $85 acceptable. I'm not paying $175.

    If it protects the shocks 200 is a drop in the bucket. Wheelers front bumps are tried and proven. Blown shocks in the middle of nowhere can be expensive and time consuming

    Sigh. You're right. But it's still a f*ckin rip off.
