Do shocks need bump stops?
Regular shocks aren’t going to absorb and control the energy being placed onto the suspension system. High-quality bump stops help to control the rebound energy and reduce strain on the vehicle’s shocks. As a result, you get more control over your vehicle — even while passing over uneven terrain at high speeds.
What do suspension bump stops do?
Proper bump stops will add the last cushion to prevent your suspension from completely bottoming out. Usually located on the frame above the axle, they protect the axle and the frame by preventing metal from hitting metal when the suspension bottoms out. All cars and trucks have bump stops installed at the factory.
Do I need bump stops with coilovers?
Definitely replace the dust cover and bump stop. If you choose to ride on the lowest setting with the Teins, you’re going to need it. That kind of a coilover really relies on the damper to stop it from bottoming out, and in the event that it does, that one is kind of screwed.
What is a coilover bump stop?
Eibach Bump Stops are a vital part of a well-engineered suspension system, and are used to create a highly progressive, rising-rate effect as springs approach bottoming and possible coil binding.
How far should bump stops be?
Mud trucks and desert racers with large amounts of suspension travel should run 4″ travel bump stops, while vehicles with a-arms or low ride heights should use 2″ or 3″ travel bump stops. Shorter bump stops require higher internal pressures than longer bump stops which results in a harder impact.
How big are the bumps on a King Shocks?
King bump stops provide an additional level of bottoming control when you are using every bit of suspension travel available. We offer 2.0 and 2.5 inch diameter bodies with stroke lengths from 2 to 4 inches to fit any mounting location requirements and handle any suspension arresting loads.
What makes bump stops different from race shocks?
Our bump stops contain a unique piston design that offers superior flow characteristics and the same quality micro polished shafts and advanced seal technology as our race shocks. Our long wearing nylon contact pad insures quiet operation and mounts with a simple yet effective single bolt design.
How big is a chromoly bump stop Mount?
We offer 2.0 and 2.5 inch diameter bodies with stroke lengths from 2 to 4 inches to fit any mounting location requirements and handle any suspension arresting loads. Our 4130 Chromoly mounting sleeves are precision machined to size and offer a secure and sturdy mount without pinching the bump stop body.
Do you replace front and rear shocks at the same time?
I usually recommend that you replace both the front and the rear at the same time, as they take roughly similar abuse over their lifetime, and the fronts or rears are not likely to be more or less worn than the other ones. As a rule, the shocks should always be replaced in pairs (left and right together).

How does the Schrader cover protect the bump stops?
Our unique Schrader cover mounts to the housing not the Schrader valve itself to protect it and acts as a double seal to keep dust and moisture out.
