IMPROVE DRIVER CONTROL & ENJOY A SMOOTHER RIDE WITH THE SSI SUMOSPRINGS FRONT BUMP STOP KIT ON 3RD GEN TOYOTA TACOMA \u2013 INSTALLATION GUIDE, FULL REVIEW & OVERVIEW<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is no denying that some parts of our trucks should have been built differently from the beginning. And by differently, I mean that they should have been upgraded or sturdier. But, we all know some corners have been cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the front and rear bump stops are almost useless in terms of comfort. The bump stops are incredibly small and the material that they\u2019re made of is not the best when it comes to absorbing road forces. There have been many instances where I\u2019ve bottomed out my bump stops. As many of you would know, it\u2019s not a great feeling. To smoothen out your ride, you can change out your front coilovers and be done. But at the end of the day whenever you hit some serious bumps you will still want the assistance of upgraded front bump stops to complement your suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest remedy for the rough ride is to upgrade your current bump stops. A great solution is the SuperSprings International (SSI) SumoSprings Front Bump Stop Kit. These upgraded bump stops are a no-hassle install and you\u2019ll be glad you have them later down the road. If you\u2019re thinking about the rear, SSI has you covered there too. Check out this guide to rear bump stops featuring SumoSprings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this post is centered around the 3rd Gen Tacoma, these bump stops fit the 2nd Gen Tacoma and several other Toyota\/Lexus models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHO IS SUPERSPRINGS INTERNATIONAL? WHAT ARE SUMOSPRINGS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

SSI is a company that started in 1996, offering maintenance-free suspension products, backed by a lifetime guarantee. They have been innovating the suspension market for many types of vehicles. SSI offers sturdy bump stops made out of microcellular polyurethane, and their products range from bump stops to coil springs. But in this article, we will be discussing their front bump stop kit that has revolutionized the bump stop market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SSI has made it easy for consumers to differentiate what exact bump stops they will need. In the case of rear bump stops, they color-code certain bump stops by assigning them blue and black to resemble the weight capacities. For the front, however, I ended up receiving the blue bump stop. Which improve the ability to carry loads to an impressive 1,400 pounds at 50% compression. At this time, they only offer the blue option. But near as I can tell, it should cover 99% of the needs of those of us who drive Tacomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSTALLATION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For this install, there are not many things that are required to get the job done, other than some basic tools and elbow grease. Although, I must point out that in my experience, stuff didn\u2019t go as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing is, I had both of the old bump stop bolts break while I tried to remove them. Which led to multiple hours of trying to find a way to remove those broken bolts. And without trying to drill through the whole surface. But, thanks to the internet, I was able to find a tool that made stuck bolt removal a walk in the park, and that tool was a screw\/bolt extractor. Have you ever seen a screw pull out another screw\/bolt? Well, that\u2019s what a screw\/bolt extractor does, and this was my first time using one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would recommend having this tool around because as you know, it saved me a ton of hassle. Moving on, my assumptions on why the old bump stop bolts broke are not clear, but they are more than likely the result of pressure built up over time, which caused it to overtighten. Corrosion likely played some role as well, since I live in a harsher climate. I may be wrong, but at the end of the day just know that if your old bolts break, it\u2019s not the end of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
