Adding a set of hydraulic bumpstops is a great way to upgrade your suspension. Alot of people say hydraulic bumpstops are only needed for people who want to go fast off road.. However i am a big fan of them for rockcrawling, trailriding, beach driving, high speed offroading, and even for overlanders who have a heavy Jeep that tends to bottom out easily.
As you can tell, the front install is very straight forward! The rear does require cutting and welding, but in the end its a simple process that is worth it!

Now, i know alot of people will ask me why i didnt choose the teraflex speed bumps for the rear since they do not require welding. I do not recommend those bumpstops, they are filled with foam (simply put). Over time, their performance will degrade, they do not operate as well as hydraulic bumps, and they offer no tuning capability. Speaking of tuning, hydraulic bumpstops can be adjusted by nitrogen pressure to fine tune the stiffness. The great thing about Locked Offroad is that they prefill their bumps, whereas other companies require you to find a shop that can fill with nitrogen (which can be tricky depending on where you live).

I hope you enjoyed the video, and if you are planning to upgrade to some hydraulic bumpstops then i hope the discount code can help you out a bit!
Stay tuned for some offroad shots of these bad boys in action!
Like always, if you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments and ill do my best to help!

Your timing is impeccable because I just recently did rear hydraulic bumpstops with Synergy mounts and my attitude towards DV8 has soured as well. They were like the new Smittybilt w/o the Shittybilt stigma. Customer Service was good & Cole was really active in the community but ever since the Drake Offroad acquisition everything just went downhill from there. I've been wanting to phase out the handful of DV8 products that I have on my Rig which includes their bumpstops. I was just online looking at other hydro bumpstops at the exact moment I got the notification for this video. I'll be sure to give locked offroad a look.
