    Yes.

    I really like the duro bumps up front. I still have the Wheeler's on the rear. The quality in material seems to be higher with the duros. You can't really go wrong either way; Wheeler's have been around forever and the duros were new. I purchased them at a price cut when they first came out. I didn't go with the duros in the rear because I would have had to purchase new ubolts, mounts and the bumps. I was selling a house and purchasing a new house at the time and I was being mindful of spending money. So the rear was left as is.

    Just bought a set of DuroBumps. I quite like the design and build quality, especially the fronts.

    I have had wheeler super bumps for 7 years. I recently added 3/8 spacers to stop upper wheel well rubbing front and changed out my rear bumps to sumosprings #1500lbs and flex great they are much better in my opinion. Pro tips: cut a 8mm Allen key down to size and use a 8mm socket driver for easy removal and installation.

    I have them front and rear. They have changed my offroading dramatically. Much smoother and forgiving than stock.

    Running Wheelers front and rear. Fronts were moved from my previous truck and have almost 8 years on them, still in good shape.



    Speed bumps at the mall are more cushy now!

    I run a set of 4 Wheelers Superbumps on my heavy 100 series cruiser. An amazing benefit is to keep control when jumping and bouncing from popping a wheelie when climbing a hill. The two on each side engage at the same time. I'm not sure I could do without them. I don't live in an area with road salt.

    Bumping this because I’m looking for some info that seems to be pretty undocumented. I have a set or rear Superbumps I haven’t mounted and I’m trying to find out approximately how much these compress, as in what the approximate height of the bump stop is when fully compressed.

    I know there are several factors such as weight, how fast the impact, etc.

    I’m running 1/2 ton leafs and still run heavy enough it gets uncomfortable at times with some slight sway to the point I think evasive driving might have bad results.

    My springs aren’t flat, about an inch of arch left, but my hope was I could have these close to engaging to add some stability in turns.

    Second concern is having the bumps compress fully when rear leafs are fully compressed and keep the spring from going just slightly over negative arch.

    This ensures when I dump everything at camp and go out to hit trails the bumps will compress on bounces off obstacles and keep from bottoming out my shocks which will bottom out when the leaves are negative arched an inch or so.

    Obviously this is also to spare the leafs, though they have over 300k miles and may need replacing at some point, but also help keep the next set from getting overflexed

    Will the wheelers superbumps limit any travel for a stock 2021 tacoma?

    Wheelers compress a ton, so they should limit or change bump travel. You can get spacers for them to limit the up travel.

    Ah. I’m hoping with my stock suspension, that they would not limit my uptravel since they say it may on their site.

    so I am looking at
    https://durobumps.com/product/3rd-gen-toyota-tacoma-front-bump-stops/

    But the price is rough

    I’ll admit I’ve not measured or anything, but a couple GoPro videos I’ve taken under the wheel well show them compressed pretty flat.
    I’d say even if there’s minimal uptravel loss, it’s worth it for the control.
    Either superbumps or the durobumps will work great. The wheelers ones were the best suspension bang for buck mod I ever did to the truck.
