When offloading it's nice to have more clearance. An inch literally makes a difference.
Check out the video and see how.
It's important when you're done to torque them evenly to 93 ft lbs and check them VERY often like 100 miles, 250, 500, 1000 to be safe.
I got these bump stops and flip kit from Duro Bumps

Installed this same kit on my son’s 2005 Tacoma 4x4 access cab. He is running the 3.5” Durobumps. You definitely want to trim off any excess thread on the u-bolts down to 1/2”. When you bottom out the bumps that extra thread will contact the frame, it hurts your spine….:). I chose their shortest u-bolt option 7.75” (standard) on stock springs with a 1” block I got from Toytec. With this setup the u-bolt length was perfect, no trimming with about 1/2” of thread showing. The Durobumps are a progressive bump stop. The first 1 3/4 inches is very soft then it gets much more dense and firmer.

@jlj209 2 года назад

Great video. Didn’t realize this was so simple to do. I bought Durobumps to go with my lift kit but didn’t think about the U bolts. My first time off-road with my truck, guess what hung up… my factory Ubolt bracket. Will be ordering these. Thanks for the tip.

Definitely a useful mod! Wondering about the length of the screws that hold the bump stops, with the thicker metal, shouldn’t they be a tad longer?

@ALWAYSPDG 4 года назад

Yes they should be.

@mangu180 3 года назад

I just order the U bolt, I didn’t get the standard size one, but instead I got the 8.85” since I will be adding the Dakar leaf springs as well on my 2016 Tacoma.

@RobDaman 3 года назад

right on!

@MichaelWilliams-qk9rm 4 года назад

Rob. Look into getting either a set of crows feet or some torque adapters on amazon. Makes torquing hardware in odd places much easier. Im looking at getting that same flip kit

@RobDaman 4 года назад

Definitely on my list

@jayl2331 3 года назад

I can’t find a kit for my 2018 ZR2. Any ideas? I need to install bump stops anyway.

@mychan3734 4 года назад

Rob, maybe use some red lock tight so you won’t have to keep checking the torque! And maybe you might want to cut the ends of the u bolts because when those bump stops get compressed all the way you’re going to run into some bad problems you can snap the you bolts or bend them, I seen it happen on those flip kits!! Lol Just a suggestion....👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Great vids tho ..keep them coming 😎

@RobDaman 4 года назад

thanks for the tips. I haven't seen any suggestions to use loctite. I speculate it's due to the u bolts naturally stretching.

@spartan8390 4 года назад

NO! WET TORQUE AND DRY TORQUE ARE DIFFERENT! Bolts are torque to yield (TTY) in most cases and you don't want to roll the dice on the drivetrain. Not saying there isn't a way to do it, but run numbers and compare torque figures first.

@MichaelWilliams-qk9rm 4 года назад

U bolts are not a set it and forget it thing just because u used loctite. It is highly recommended to do the retorques. With the proper tools like torque adapters it only takes minutes to accomplish. I fix helicopters for a living and im always doing retorques. U can also use torque stripe to mark ur hardware to see if your hardware has turned between intervals.

@Donkarnage223 4 года назад

When I installed my Alcan springs I ordered a 9in set thinking I would need longer bolts and I ended cutting most of it off! Now that I am ready for the flip kit I would like to have the correct length to start with! I am leaning toward 7.75in but maybe I should do the 8.85in and cut them down again? The length Ubolt you purchased was what please?

@RobDaman 4 года назад

Definitely go longer and trim. It's been a while and I actually forgot.

@poordave9102 4 года назад

@Jny.blz85 4 года назад

What size Bumps you get ? 4.25” or 5.25” ? And what’s the gap in between the Top of the Bumpstop and where it hits the part of the frame ?

@RobDaman 4 года назад

Mine are 4.25" I changed my leaf pack and have a lighter load (no hardshell and CargoGlide is lighter than Decked) so it's about 2 inches. (eye balled not measured)

@rebelonstrike7 4 года назад

Just and observation, that exhaust dump....how well is it working on heating up your brake line and spare tire? I know why you chopped it, but I would have at least re-routed the pipe or left it a little longer so it isn’t dumping directly over your brake line and heating up that spare tire, not to mention, heating up that axle as well. Just my .02, it’s your truck, you do as you please.

@RobDaman 4 года назад

Thanks for your concern. I just drove 21 miles in stop and go traffic. When I got home, I touched everything bare handed but it wasn't any warmer than any other areas mentioned. Pipe is pretty far from those items. I'd be happy to do a video of it if you could fund the tools to measure temperatures of the aforementioned areas. here's the vid of me cutting it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3SEhcdDcR2w.html There's a few angles that you may be able to see the clearance. Again thanks for concerns.

@joluar78 4 года назад

Have the same setup. They definitely make a difference. Did you use loctite?

@RobDaman 4 года назад

nice. No loctite. I haven't seen any recommendations do that. I speculate it's due to the u bolts stretching.

Do those leaf springs allow for more payload weight? Or is it still stock #s

Those are Deavers stage 2 leaf packs for more weight. I yanked my stock+AAL not long ago. I haven't done a suspension update since my UCA's because I may try again to change em.

it's the stock muffler but cut for clearance. It's stainless steel I believe. Here's the video of the chop ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3SEhcdDcR2w.html

What length u bolt did you get?

@RobDaman 4 года назад

I honestly forgot but durobumps has a article on how to measure it properly. you definitely want longer vs shorter.

@MichaelWilliams-qk9rm 4 года назад

Measre from the bottom of your axle to the top of the leaf pack then add 2 inches. If u get em longer than needed you can always cut them to the length u want. I would suggest leaving an inch or two of thread sticking out of the nut.

Now you can bump your U-Bolts into your Frame instead of the Dirt,..I don't like it.

pu81nk. Im curious to know why u think the u bolts are going to hit the frame? Yes Rob could stand to cut about an inch or so off them but with the bump stop he installed there shouldnt be any issues with that.
