Why Jeep JK Bump Stops Will Change Your Life
One of the most underrated suspension components out there, the bump stop is one of the best things you can add to an off-road vehicle. Jeep JK bump stops will improve your vehicle’s stability, first and foremost, but they also offer more control for the suspension during heavy movements. This is great for rough terrain, uneven surfaces, and most off-road adventures.
Essentially, your shocks and struts won't take as much of a beating from climbing over rocks or getting a little air during an off-road adventure. This is because bump stops provide a little extra cushion for your suspension system, which prevents metal-on-metal contact.
Now, these benefits also carry over to daily driving. Yes, we’re looking at you, potholes and poorly paved roads. Installing JK bump stops will preserve the lifespan of your suspension parts and offer a more comfortable ride, even on some of the worst roads in the country.
Fit Your 2007-2018 Jeep JK with the Right Bump Stops
When choosing bump stops for your Jeep Wrangler JK, it's important to consider the quality of the part first, which is why you should always choose premium brands like Mammoth and Rugged Ridge. Look for parts that leverage high-quality polyurethane and reliable mounting hardware for the best results.
Next, it's time to take a long, hard look at how you drive your vehicle. For someone who hits the trails often or participates in off-roading competitions, JK bump stops that leverage hydraulics. The hydraulic portion slows down the movement of the suspension over the last few inches of travel to provide an even better cushion than just polyurethane material. When violently going over bumps or climbing rocks, you may need a hydraulic bump stop to prevent metal-on-metal contact and premature wear on suspension components.
On the other hand, if you have a lift kit or only commute to work and back, traditional Jeep JK bump stops are sufficient. Still, always opt for high-quality options that leverage durable polyurethane that prevents metal-on-metal contact, especially if you don't have the best roads in your area.
