front bump stops

[willwwright]

I checked the search and googled but nothing comes up.

Has anyone figured out front bumps on gen 3's? I saw there was a kit for gen 1's with a metal strap kit going around the lower arm...
Anyone R&D'd this yet?

I believe Camburg has a slapper kit with new lower arms that integrates bump stops.

Any options that don't require a new lower arm? I know Gen 1s had a bolt on setup that had a steel sleeve that went around the factory arm.

Nada? I’m kind of surprised no one is expressing interest in this.
I know there will be some people that will say rebuild the shock a bump isn’t needed but I’d argue that all day! These trucks are heavy and a hydro bump would do wonders for them, I think.
Maybe I should just post this in the general thread instead of in here…

This is for gen 1’s - g3 arms aren’t flat like that anymore but could it be done?

is the curb too tall at your local starbucks that require you to get front bumps?

havent most people gone to a dual shock setup? i know that was done a few times

I completely agree that the front could use bumps. Maybe could use them more than the rear since more weight up front and less travel. That style on the gen 1 is sketchy to me because the LCA wasn’t designed to have a large load applied there. Camburg’s slapper kit looks pretty good to me, but I hate FK uniballs on anything I daily and it requires different wheels, which I don’t really feel like buying right now.

Most run a bypass shock next to their coilovers and tyne the bypass accordingly.



As said, Camburg has a slapper bump stop but have heard mixed reviews.

You could always build out a hoop setup off the frame for the UCA to hit. Much like trophy trucks do.

Thanks , yeah I know all about that and the burg Slapper - they require a fabricated lower though I’m not looking to replace a lower unless the stockers break. A bypass would be the best but again, need a fabbed lower.
Might have to get with @WickedCreations and see if we can develop something!
