Question: Timbren ABSTOF front bump stops

I have a pair of Timbren ABSTOF for the front (1 per side) for my 2021. What I noticed is that there are actually 2 factory bump stops per side up front. I believe I know which one the Timbren ABSTOF goes on (back) but my question:

Wouldn't this make the stress of compression all on one of the bump stops now? If it was even before now the new Timbren will be taking 100% of the weight under load. It just doesn't seem right to me as far as balancing the weight out. opinions kindly appreciated.

Also noticed that the Canadian Timbren site doesn't even list the Tundra in its vehicle lookup.....US site is good. It's a Canadian company. The photos on their site also are different from what you actually get, small things, but it bugs me when you're paying for decent stuff.

Thanks!

 

Perhaps your lower control arms will land on the more solid factory bump before the Timbren becomes compressed beyond its limit. Be careful with this job, the nuts welded internally on the frame like to break off before the the factory stop comes out. Seen more than one case of this issue. Maybe some anti seize on the threads would be a good idea.

 

Thanks, good point. I just find it funny that only one is replaced and then it makes me think that the weight on the control arm is then moved all to one side.
Also thanks for the tip on some anti-seize, rust is crazy up here. It's funny there is no drain for water accumulation on the front/back bump stop. I filled the void with some surface shield. they throw salt around right now by the buckets. Literally piles of salt sitting at intersections to try to offset driving abilities in this city.

 

Have you ever cycled the suspension to full compression with the spring/shock out. If I recall on my first Gen, the fronts were bigger and the rears were smaller. I believe one hit first, kind of a progressive bump - 1-2. Oem is hard and short so not much progression really. I hear many that upgrade bump stops only buy one set and put them front or rear. I think some bump manufactures even recommend which perch to place them. I'm currently running aftermarket bumps and have one set higher than the other. Maybe 21's don't hit at the same time either from the factory? Worth a look.

 

The ABSTOF has a progressive spring to help absorb hits as it engages. The ABSTOF is absorbing a lot of the energy before it fully bottoms out and you hit the other OEM bump.

I ran one pair of ABSTOFs on just the rear of the front and I ended up buying another set. Good product.

 

Thanks for confirming what I was thinking. Also for the quality confirmation. I have been on the fence about these, and opted for the Super Durobumps. Just hard for me to justify 5+ Benjamins for bumpstops without seeing the results first.

 

Anything is an improvement over the OEMs I think.
