Super Springs Bump Stops

[MAG00]

Anyone have experience with the Super Springs Sumo Springs used for front and rear bump stops? Looks interesting.

If you are looking to use them as just bump stops (as opposed to helper springs), take a look at the Metalcloak DuroSpring bump stops.

I have the DuroSpring bump stops on the rear of my JK and they are magical. No harshness at all when hitting the stops, even in those 'big hit' situations off road.

Here are the JT DuroSpring bump stops:

Thanks for the info. I'll have to check them out. Definitely cheaper option and appear to be a similar material.

There are these to I ran across that seem interesting.

I have both front and back sumo springs on my 21 JTO. I went with sumo springs because occasionally I do like to use my Jeep as an actual truck. The rear would sag a lot even with half the payload capacity in my opinion so this is why I went with the sumo springs. They have been very nice to have and also work well as bump stops. Now if I could just find the right spring and shock combination.

I have them (Sumo's) on my 2024 Ford E450 motorhome and they made a noticeable difference in side to side sway, and kept the rear from dipping as much as much over bumps or from too much weight in the back. These were a very recent addition so no long term experience with them.

Have not thought about them for the JT.

Great product for what they are intended. A simple solution to level and stabilize a heavily loaded vehicle.....

That said, I would NEVER use them on a vehicle that travels over uneven terrain unless the cushion was only used as a progressive bump stop in a lifted application otherwise you are giving up wheel travel and ride comfort.

Good Point,

I have run the Metalcloak on my Jk for the past 2000 miles. On road, off road. I'm sold. I have tons and about 3.5" of lift so the bumps only have about 2" of travel before contact. This rig is my daily driver and medium duty trail rides. With the stock style bumps, I could over compress them on the street and get metal to metal contact, knock your teeth out. With the Metalcloak which are a different length than stock, then adjusting my bump stop length, it is such a night and day difference. No hard jolts, just a quick ramp up in pressure to stop the axle.

Offroad, slow speed, they totally soak up the crazy stuff very well. It actually becomes a little easy to drive fast/push a little harder than you probably should. It's kinda fun!!

I have a tube buggy with coilovers and hydraulic bumps. It took multiple trips to get spring rates, dual rates, and bumps all dialed in. If you have stock style suspension, the Metalcloaks are a great upgrade, but, bump stop distance will need to be tuned to keep your max travel and/or tires out of the fenders.

For $90 for the set, I feel every brand of lift could benefit.

I run the Sumo on the rear of my F550 motorhome. They are the style that stay in contact with the axle at ride height. They made a wonderful difference in vehicle sway, towing, cross winds. I'm also sold on those. I had already done upgraded sway bars, adjustable shocks, upgraded end links. The Sumo was prob the most noticeable bang for the buck difference.

In the Sumo video, they show their Jeep version to not be in constant contact at ride height. I would be willing to bet the Sumo and Metalcloak use a similar proprietary air foam cell concept. I don't think you could go wrong adding these to your current set up.
