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.
I love this channel. One of the few where it's a good mix between amazing things to do for your jeep, and getting it done yourself. Send it brother!
Thank you! I really appreciate it
I enjoy every video you put up! show people how to set up the bumpstops correctly in more detail. collapsing the full length of the shock until it bottoms out the hydro bumps. everyone has a different lift and setup therefore the height of the bumpstops are going to be all different. thanks for all your time and hard work in getting these really entertaining videos out!
Nice video man. I enjoy watching your passion for your Jeep and they way you show us all the process in upgrading or getting the most out of it.
Thanks man! Hope your doing well!
Great video! Not too jazzed about cutting frame, but it looks like a solid reinforcement plate.
Great install Ben!!!! These are awesome!!! You’ve turned this JK into such a beast! I’ve been wrenching on my TJ all week,, I let it sit for about a year so I’ve been getting it back into shape lately.. Keep it up man!!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!! And Goodluck, it’ll all be worth it
JK Gear and Gadgets yeah I’m thinking so, I missed driving it. Drove it Wednesday for the first time in a year and my wife had to pry the smile off my face!!! Forgot how fun it was to drive!! Take care bud.
Very nice upgrade. Thanks for all the explanation. Really enjoy your DIY videos. You break it down and take away the guess work. Now I'm in the market for some hydraulic bump stops.
Thanks for watching! And that’s what I try to do 🤘. I highly suggest checking out the locked Offroad bumps, plus the 10% discount is a nice touch
As always very informative
I just found this channel and I love it all ready
Thanks!
You have a unique channel with you great video
Thank you, ordered my rear today.
Your videos are the best
Very cool u make it look so easy
Looks great man
I have a 1 ton dodge pickup with a HEMI and a sport jku that needs to be beefed up. All I need now is a neighbor like you to help 💪
Loved the video man! Watched the whole thing in bed this morning 😁
Sweet work shoes!
Awesome job Ben
Thanks!
Great video. Always very informative.......Uh oh, dv8 inner fenders
Yepp, those are coming off. They haven’t worked out so well either
Hey Ben, was wondering how you fixed that driver spring that looked miss aligned
how do you like the Rock Krawler springs compared to metalcloak? did I miss the video where you talk about it?
by hving 4 of your bumbers on corners of roof rack combined wt loading limiting & bal the load until that is it maxed out limit is a good thing & when not loaded up & u roll it the four of them soften the hit & limit the crash of rack to four hard mont spots u beef up for the job. Cheaper & lighter than beefing up the whole roof.
Subbed
Do these give you more articulation on the trail or are they set to a specific stop space amount?
Wow can we fund this guy a 4 post lift please? Those angles on the high lift made me super uncomfortable.
NHL bump stop pads?
What stroke length did you go with?
What are the wheel specs you have in there ?
Just wait till you cut off your control arm brackets for your long arm. Omg,, Start with the front,, the rear are easy. Love you videos, I’ll be doing Tons next
Awesome video! What name brand wheel is the one located on the workbench in the video? I have been curious about the bumbstops as well, perfect timing! Thanks.
I researched your prior videos and found the name brand.
Sorry, they are vision wheel beadlocks
Great video! I've been contemplating on getting airbumps. How do you determine what size you need as far as travel? It's a bit confusing whether I should factor in the bumpstop extensions or measure from factory strike pad.
What lift are you running? I would get the same bumps I did, and adjust your bump extensions accordingly
@@JKGearandGadgets 4.5" RK X-Factor long arm
SEND IT!
Heck yeah!!
Hey ben how have these babies been holding up?
Im surprised he didn't have anything listed for jeeps under vehicle specific
The bottom ends of the TMR's b4 the plastic round cone he should add gel pads like in shoes. U very the gel pads thickness on the margin to dial them in & add the cone cap on top of the gel pads. There is some crazy tech in foams & pads NOW. This is your wear prt, so his TMR prt lasts longer. U want the gel pads to take & deaden the hit & custom conform to your set up. U can see the conform denting & fine tune the gel pad thickness count. OK On this jeep current configuration w/these shocks we need 2" of gel pad but I may try 2.5" & see how it does. Again w/TMR's hving 4or 5 more " of travel thru stop pnt & the rubber type working 1st bulk of the time on the cheap.
Perhaps there’s info in another video but I would like to know what fender flares you have and where to get them? Thank you
They are MCE fender flares.
Bro?! Can I just bring my JK over and pay you to modify it? Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤❤👨🔧👨🔧👨🔧👨🔧
Haha time to open up a JkGG shop!
Why to cut metal if exists a better way with Rear Bump Stop Teraflex
Interesting. I actually found out about the DV8 bumpstops due to your channel and was impressed by the decent quality and price. Found them on quadratec for a decent price and bought them. No you’re bagging on them?
I’m not bagging on them, I just don’t like to support the brand. The bumpstops themselfs are nice, but as a fairly large youtuber I do not like recommending company’s that steal people designs
Assuming he proved to you that they “stole “ his design? Kinda like everyone copied designs from companies like King? Not hart, love the videos just hope there was a little more than he said he said behind it that’s all.
I talked to him for a good while, they replicated his design completely, just added their logos and a different travel length. DV8 is known to do that, they have all their products made in China and then sell them here. The only reason I stumbled upon locked was because I was looking for rear bumpstops, started talking with him and then figured might as well run his fronts.
I’m not saying the DV8 bumpstops are bad, they have worked great. I’m just not a big fan of DV8 as a company. Over the past few months I’ve been talking to a lot of people who have been having big issues with DV8, so I would rather help support companies that I know will stand behind their products.
I sent them an email and they confirmed that they are in fact made “over seas”
Why not go with 4” travel ?
Cant really tell but at the end are those abs lines coming in contact with the shock?
My passenger side is wrapped up and unhooked
That cheap spanner wrench from home Depot is for kitchen sink drains lol I would hope it doesn't work well on that ...would make me question the nut hahaha
I know this is an older video, but for the fronts did you go 2" or 2.5" for the jk? Thanks
2” are the only ones that will fit in the coil buckets. However you can go with 2” or 4” stroke depending on your lift height. I wouldn’t do 4” unless your on 5”+ lift
I was terrified you were going to bust out that back window when you let the jack go in the rear.
was that your ebrake cable or axle vent tube wedged in the rear spring on the drivers side, or just a video illusion?
It’s the 14 bolt ebrake cable. Still need to hook it up
@@JKGearandGadgets Ah K!
Do you need all 4 to notice results or would it be already an improvement to add just the front ones ?
I would start off with the front since it’s the heaviest part of the jeep; then later on do the rear
The goal is to do all 4 though
If you remember... did you get the 2” bumps or the 4” bumps?
2”. 4” would be for taller lifts
If u r going to cut a key member short sides, or just 1 side but if long & top & bottom side of box u hve jack shit left. So normally like u said bracket replacement or put back at least what u took out. Hopefully thicker batch then cut out metal error-ing safe side. As for welds If pro then simple math,add up the lebgth out all the cuts & the welds if pro need to b 3 times as long as all the cuts again safe side can't break your arm wear it healed up correctly deal. 5" of cuts will need welds of 15" on a patch steel atleast as thick or better than what was taken out. U can't ask a prt to do something it was not engineered to do & cut & patch there too. Say non support pnt load cut patched & NOW carrying new load, nope not a chance. Your case same spot as b4 heavy hit spot of box frame not new spot on frame.
What size lift you have? Looks higher that 3.5.
its a 3.5 however the one ton axles and trusses make it sit higher, its probably around 4.25-4.5"
@@JKGearandGadgets sweet.
I would only spot weld it the can if I was going your route, 6 spot welds per side max & if it fails the stop not the frame fails or the bracket, pick your poison deal either way Still need the header.
It’s held up great so far, and I’ve done some pretty hard stuff on it
@@JKGearandGadgets I hit the side of a rim doing a u turn on front wheel drive Intrepid & 6 yrs later low miles the axle broke off while driving down the road.
@@JKGearandGadgets the bridge held up well under constant use all weather condition & then it failed & kill 36 ppl
but that type of cutting in the frame can make the frame a weakness especially on the trailer
It will be fine. The Jk wouldn’t tow enough weight for this to even be an issue.
That's weird... you have dv8 inner fender liners?...
I talked about that in my last video. They are being changed out... these are falling apart, rubing, etc
four of those thing on mount pnts of roof rack would b worth it. U roll it or u load up the rack it will help carry that load floating it rather than denting roof & when u max out u can see it OK too much wt. As for ride it has to compete w/the cool tow rubber deflection bump stops that really do work, not just towing but to lessen impacts also. Tough ask for a slow hydraulic bump stock to compete w/ rubber stops, I mean u would hve to b a brain smarty to get it right sized normal travel vs extreme off roading. Not poss in ten pairs to beat those rubber bumpers not a chance & I want the safety tow load. Nope not poss not a remotely fair fight tech vs idiot proof tech. Even more so when rubber bumpers come in diff sizes.
Make your case but I am already sold on other tech. Only way for your way to win this fight is if my bumper was stone cold diff deflection drunk or broken/torn & u didn't notice it bc no fluid to see problem
If u could marry the both of them so rubber baby bumper worked balk of the time, under loads & then u basically limit the max hit or bottomed out ht w/ your hydraulic deal.
The trick would b to hve your hydraulic end pass down THRU the stop pnt of the rubber baby bumper stop pnt. That way u get the full effect of the star of the show which flat works, video sells it. Then your shock bumper kicks in 4 or 5" extra travel softening the hit & setting the hard ceiling for this flight op engagement. We get to gether or we work apart but your guy lost b4 the bell rang.
U could truss over the spot in the frame u notched so the box is NOW taller & stronger right where u cut it out. No diff than adding a header for window opening for sliding door & transferring that load on the sides. Your box frame needs a header NOW for sure.
I thought trump banned bumpstocks
Your voic hasnt matched your videos lately kinda like watching a old Godzilla movie! LOL
I need to get a new computer 🤦🏻♂️. When I upload to YT it messes the audio ip
JK Gear and Gadgets its ok I will still watch
NO F-ing way I cut that frame!!! Just flip the damn thing over & bump up stop it rather than bump down stop it. No bloody way I cut that frame. My way u hve the extra travel of TMR's to go up into from & stop on a top cross plate. No F-ing way I cut that frame. If I gun to head Had to cut the frame I would only cut the top or bottom short side of box tubing not the long side. I hve been studying/watching videos on heavy trailer construction & no F-ing way I cut/cone out/ notch out the frame.
Doesn’t support DV8 but has their inner fenders? Haha. Jk
Haha those got changed shortly after
5:18 I know you did not just wear black socks and crocks. SMH
You know I did lol
