DuroBumps Insights: What You Need to Know.

We value your interest and are always here to assist. Below, you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about DuroBumps. If your question isn’t listed, please don’t hesitate to fill out the form below. We’re eager to help!

What size bump stop do I need?

On each product page, you’ll find the “Lift Height” indication, which specifies the necessary lift for that particular bump stop. Some products necessitate a minimum of 2 inches of lift, and this requirement will be clearly marked.

How are Durobumps made?

DuroBumps are made of solid rubber. DuroBumps utilizes our patent pending dual durometer rubber to achieve smooth, progressive dampening similar to a coil spring. Many of our products also have cast-in-place metal hardware, ensuring a secure fit.

How challenging is it to install DuroBumps?

Installation of DuroBumps products is straightforward. Even if you have a basic skill set and limited tools, you’ll find the process easy. There’s no need for cutting, drilling, or welding. Our products fit seamlessly into the OEM location using the provided mounting hardware. Detailed installation instructions are available on our website and included in the product packaging.

Does Durobumps offer a warranty?

Absolutely! We provide a 36-month manufacturer’s warranty on all DuroBumps products. You can find the details of our warranty on our website.

Can I use DuroBumps on my stock vehicle?

Absolutely! DuroBumps offers multiple size options, ensuring the best fit.

Is it necessary to upgrade my bump stops?

Yes, upgrading your bump stops with DuroBumps offers several benefits.

  • Enhance performance beyond what the shocks alone can provide.
  • Minimize bump steer for better control.
  • Protect your shocks from over-compression damage.
  • Improve ride quality on both paved roads and off-road terrains.
  • Prolong the life of your suspension. By absorbing impacts, DuroBumps prevent excessive wear on lower control arm(LCA) bushings, tie rods, ball joints, and tire carcasses.

Can I use Durobumps on my stock vehicle?

Absolutely! DuroBumps are available in multiple sizes to ensure the best fit for your vehicle, whether stock or modified.

Where are DuroBumps made?

DuroBumps are proudly Made in the USA, with USA-sourced materials and parts. Sunny Arizona, to be exact.

Why doesn’t DuroBumps 3D print bump stops?

While we leverage 3D printing for quick prototyping and product fitment tests, we’re conscious of the technology’s limitations. 3D printed materials cannot provide the durability and performance of solid cast rubber bump stops.

What makes rubber bump stops the best option?

Rubber bump stops stand out for a variety of reasons. The malleability of rubber allows for differentiated compression zones, perfectly tailored to the demands of heavy vehicles. Rubber’s inherent physical properties are ideally suited to handle the weight of trucks.

What’s the difference between an off-road bump stop and a towing bump stop?

Bump stops serve varied purposes based on their design. Off-road bump stops such as Durobumps are activated during the final 10% of suspension uptravel, catering to off-roading scenarios where articulation is key. They are compact, ensuring maximum flexibility on uneven terrains. On the other hand, bump stops tailored for towing are much larger and engaged during the last 30% of suspension uptravel. This early engagement ensures the shocks have ample time to effectively control and dampen up travel, optimizing stability during towing.

What’s the problem with OEM bump stops?

OEM bump stops are notably rigid. When they make contact, it’s jarringly evident — you might find change catapulted from your cup holder and glovebox contents scattered on the floor. Durobumps offers a solution by adeptly absorbing and decelerating wheel up travel before the bump stops make the final halt. This results in ultra smooth engagement that becomes progressively firmer upon compression, ensuring optimal bottom-out control for your vehicle.

What is a bump stop?

A bump stop is a protective pad or bumper designed to prevent a truck’s suspension from over-compressing and averting metal-to-metal contact. Every vehicle is equipped with bump stops, whether they’re affixed to the lower control arms(LCA), positioned over the shock shaft, or mounted to the frame. These bump stops act as the final safeguard, shielding shocks from bottoming out and minimizing stress transfer to other vital suspension parts, such as tie rods, ball joints, and tires.

What’s the DuroBumps difference?

DuroBumps are distinct from other bump stops available. We proudly feature our patent-pending dual durometer rubber technology, delivering unparalleled performance. Moreover, DuroBumps cater to various needs by offering multiple size options, ensuring compatibility with any lift size. Each is designed for a hassle-free bolt-on installation, eliminating the need for spacers or other modifications.

Why doesn’t DuroBumps offer extended length front bump stops for the Toyota product line?

For safety reasons, DuroBumps does not offer extended front bump stops for Toyota models. Typically, these vehicles come with a 5.5-inch stroke shock at the front. Introducing a taller bump stop would reduce the shock’s effectiveness in controlling upward motion. This can result in premature bump stop contact, destabilizing the vehicle and increasing rollover risks, especially at high speeds or on uneven roads. Our commitment is to prioritize safety without compromising the vehicle’s built-in mechanisms.
