Air Bump stop vs. Daystar poly bushing bump stops.
Looking for some real world input of the Daystar compared to an Air bump stop? Does it feel the same and an air on landings or is it s hard bump?
I dont have personal experiance with the air bumps, but ive herd they dont like getting sideways pressure on them like in the trails around here when you flex out, they are really designed for flat landing situations. But i could be wrong
If you have room you can do a flat plate so they hit square when jumping and high speed flat run, then have an angle pad to the side that it hits when flexed.
I didn't have the room to do anything but use my spring plate.
Just make sure it won't push off of the pad. If it does then it can snag the side and pull the bump stop apart.
There are a few guys over here with pretty close to the same set up as I am running and they haven't had any issues.
Mine, not very often.
Lot of the stuff this side of the mountains is mud and lots of it
Bumpstops are overrated. :redneck:
Unless you're really airing your rig out, GM part # 15712438 is the way to go for a trail rig IMHO.
I broke lots of poly and rubber GM bumpstops then switched to King bumpstops. Well worth the money if you jump your vehicle even a little bit. I have broken frames, wheels and bent housing and knuckles on other vehicles but the truck with Kings can soak up the abuse.
