Dobinson's hydraulic bumps for IFS

Hey guys,

I know this isnt solely for the long travel crowd, but figured I'd post here since this is where the best knowledge base is.

Looks like Dobinson's is offering a kit designed to replace factory bump stops on the front of Tundras (or any IFS vehicle). I had wondered about this in another thread a while ago and the consensus was that there weren't any commercially available options. Obviously this kit would require cutting the stock bumps off and welding, but if the mounts are fabbed correctly, could be a relatively easy way to get hydro bumps on the front end. I love my rear hydro bumps and would love to have that same plush bottom out on the front without putting undo stress on the coil buckets.

Has Dobinsons packaged something worthwhile for the DIY'ers here? What are your thoughts?

I think that price is insane. $400 for that "mount" that doesn't fit anything in specific? Their whole "kit" is $1050, for $740 I can get some ADS bump stops with cans that just need some brackets welded on----and the Dobinson setup still needs brackets welded on since it's a generic setup.

I wouldn't buy that. Now if you want their bump stops alone, that's a different question, but their weld on bracket looks like just added hassle. Adding bump stops to the front should be pretty easy, it's just a bump can with two triangles welded to the sides of the can in most cases. If you can install the Dobinson setup, you can install any hydraulic bump setup and save a lot of money and probably have something more elegant looking.

 

Yep what @snivilous said. You can add in a shorty king bump/ any bump stop setup for less. The mount shown is not anything special. https://www.polyperformance.com/suspension/bump-stops-limit-straps/king-2-0-air-bump-kit

Exactly why I posted here!

I see what you guys are saying. I was thinking the mounts looked pretty generic. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something.

@snivilous I think a pre made bracket that’s all ready to weld on is something that Sniv’s speed shop should look into! I’m too lazy/incompetent to figure out the geometry, but I’d buy a set
