Air bump-stops
« on: Apr 04, 2011, 02:30:42 PM »
Has anyone tried to put air bumps on a front toyota solid axle leaf sprung vehicle? Pics?


Recently I've been trying to go faster and faster in whoops and the biggest problem I have right now, besides the lack of power, is the front end hits real hard. I only have about 2-2.5 inches of up travel in the front. I was wondering if I set things up similar to a dual shock setup but with the front shock being a can welded to the frame with an air bump. Think it'll work? :dunno:

Those daystar shock bump stops that go on the shock shaft work pretty good...  at least they help with the solid hits.  I would go with the firm black ones though I used the red soft and I think they are too soft.
