Stock vs Timbren. Last time.I went offroading, the rear axle of my truck flexed so much it ripped the rear stock bump stops. It's made out of foam so I wasn't surprised it failed. Won these used Timbren for 1/2 the price of new ones on ebay. Here's the size comparison if anyone was wondering. The Timbren are so much bigger and made out of solid rubber. These will definately keep my rear tires from rubbing my fender flares while flexing.

This issue is they make your truck ride like balls when they are touching. I had them and quickly returned them.

It will keep from flexing however when you have a heavy load or heavy toung weight and they are resting on the axle....the ride will be rough. I had a set on my ram to help but once the trailer was hooked up and I felt how the ride was I returned them.

i installed them not for towing a heavy load but to keep my axle from over flexing when i go off roading. the stock oem bumpstops are too short/weak foam and these Timbrens are longer/tougher rubber. with the oem stops my 33's flexed and rubbed on my fender flares a couple of times. this is when i was running a 2.5" leveling kit with 2" body lift. now i have a 6" lift so the longer Timbren should correct my problem. and by off roading i mean that i rock crawl through lava rocks here in Hawaii.
