Bump Stops
Polyurethane Bump Stops at Daystar
Bump Stops are a necessary and often overlooked item in any vehicle suspension system. As
the suspension is modified, bump stops become even more critical. Day Star offers everything from stock-style
replacement bump stops to extended applications to suit any needs and uses. These high-impact polyurethane stops
will provide increased strength and less deflection under load.
Keep in mind that bump stops play a greater role than ever in modern suspensions, where
they are often a constant load-bearing surface or supplemental spring, to the suspension in the factory or modified
form. Without proper bump stops in place, severe suspension fatigue and even damage can result!

What are the Types of Bump Stops?
Bump stops are intended to minimize bump travel and noise. They are crucial for
safeguarding your suspension and enhancing ride stability. There are several bump stop variants, each with a
specific set of applications. You must choose a bump stop that is compatible with your vehicle.
-
Factory Bump Stops
Factory bump stops are often built of foam or rubber, which makes them insufficient for
off-roaders. By preventing the metal frame from colliding with the metal axle, they restrict the springs' range of
motion and only partially protect the axle and frame.
-
Shock-Absorber Bump Stops
Vehicle suspensions employ shock-absorber bump stops to reduce jounce and serve as an
additional spring.
-
Off-road Bump Stops
Even if a vehicle is designed for rough terrain, off-roading is hard on it. The
urethane-based bump stops are intended to provide a better cushion between the frame and axle while also absorbing
the repeated stress of bottoming out. Even on hard trails, they can maintain your vehicle in good condition.
How to Choose the Right Bump Stop for Jeep & Dodge?

account the following to make sure you can well balance all these factors.

Consider the type of vehicle
There are several varieties of bump stops, each having various benefits and drawbacks. The
vehicle's use and type should be taken into consideration. The fundamental differences are found in the design and
function. To choose the right bump stop, it is always important to consider the vehicle's purpose and kind.
-
Consider the size of the bump stops
You should look for the longest bump stop that can physically fit your vehicle for the best
comfort and protection. The majority of air bumps have a 2 to 4-inch trip length, although internal spacers allow
for the creation of custom lengths.
-
Consider the material of bump stops
The composition of the bump stop is a must to consider while choosing the best one because
some models use simple air, others use air with oil, and rigid models use solid materials like rubber or
polyurethane.
