My ride...

[Big Mike]

Its not real good.. :roll:

What I've done..

1) T-bars at 23.5
2) Billstein 5100's on all 4 corners
3) TD extended bumpstops

Would like to smooth things out a little, if I drop the T-bars to say 23.0 and go back to a stock length bumpstop would it help much or not be worth the effort ?

and yes, I do understand the 5100's are a little stiff I'm not new to Billstein.. :shifty:

I am at 23.25 and think the ride isn't much different, if any, from stock.

Forget those aftermarket bump stops. I run the factory ones with cranked t-bars and it rides sooooo much smoother than factory.

I have two H3's, one with the trail duty bump stops and one with the oem bumpstops. Can't really feel the difference between the two. I know for a fact since my alpha has all the extra weight up front (arb bumper, winch, and hi-lift jack) the oem bump stops were not up to the task with the added weight.

Seems like I read on here that the ride gets worse as you crank the T-bars more, is that true or bad info ?

Thanks for the replies !

Just my opinion but if you are lifted to about 23.5, the TD stops are ok. But if you are 23.25 or less, use the oem ones. At 23.5 there is a tiny gap in between the stop and the lower control arm. If you are sitting lower, too much of the weight is resting on the stops and we all know the TD ones are stiffer and don't have the "progressive" characteristics of the oem ones. That may be why you're feeling extra harshness. All the forces are being sucked up by the stiff TD stops instead of the t-bars, shocks and stops working together as a system.
