    about to tackle it this week end.
    for the front, you just replace the ones towards the rear right ?

    @joonbug @14burrito

    thanks

    It's the rear one on the front suspension. You probably can upgrade those too but then you'd be buying 4 of them. Don't need it.

    You're gonna be disappointed. You'll spend more time getting the tools out than you will installing the bumps.:D

    No, you don't need to. Kinda depends on your coilovers, spring rate and how you use your truck off road. These help a lot with desert driving (higher speed) and for some people with 600lb spring rate.

    the rear one felt much better than stock. like smooth instead of a jolt. I will test it more this week end when I go to the Mojave desert for some fun in the sun.

    Did you ever make it back? :rofl:

    Thread revive. Gonna be installing the Eibach Pro kit soon and debating on getting Wheeler's front and rear. Truck doesn't see much off-road but I do wanna conquer those pesky speed bumps at the mall. Haha

    Really just wondering if they'll give me an even softer ride over speed bumps and the shitty California roads that my tax dollars DON'T get spent on.

    100% better with the superbumps up front. Rear you probably won't notice as much unless your bed is loaded or you are really hitting bumps hard. But the front do make a difference with pot holes, speed bumps, or anything that cause a quick change in road height.

    Thank you guys! Looks like I'll be adding the fronts to my truck now with my lift. I have what I believe are to be Sumo's in the rear already(came with the truck) but was thinking of getting the full Wheeler's kit but it's probably best I save the money.

    Wonder if Wheeler's will have a Memorial Day dale

    Unless you have issues with how the back handles, I don't think you will really gain much going to the Wheelers in the rear.

    I do feel like the rear is really bouncy and rough especially when hitting speed bumps. I see my rear passengers nearly hit their heads on the roof :D
    I do have the TRD rear sway bar so I believe I remember that being mentioned having something to do with it. Also running the 20" wheels so I'm really expecting lots of improvement after the lift and 18's. I do want to keep the sway bars though. Truck feels amazing with them.
