I know a few guys on here have removed the rear bump stops, however all their good info is tucked away as part of a non-specific lowering thread
Thought I’d get this a little bit more out in the open
As other members have previously said cutting the rear cups and changing to a shorter progressive bump stop made a huge difference-
I can now totally agree- night and day difference
This is my third lowered 4G quad cab, and for some reason, it rode the worst of all of them and strangely it had the most aftermarket parts as well- Airlift bags, Illicit no-cut brackets and single adjustable Qa1 shocks
Rear end rode fully on the Belltech bump stops and was bouncy and very
harsh
Cut the stock metal bump stop cups off and installed 2” tall Belltech(4923), stud mounted progressive bump stops
I have 12lbs in the AirLift bags and Rancho rear shocks set at 7 out of 9
(removed the Qa1’s- don’t like -30C)
There is a 1 3/8” space between the bump stop and the steel pad on the rear end, there’s a little better than 2” before the top control arm bracket will hit the frame
I’ve hit some pretty big low spots on the road and haven’t hit the shorter
bump stops yet
Not sure how it’ll be with weight in the back- usually carry 300-500lbs of tools
in the box- but Belltech has a interchangeable 3” tall one(4924) that could be swapped out if needed
Again- very noticeable difference
