IFS bump stops - '94 p/u
I noticed while installing my new Billstiens, that I was missing one of my factory bump stops on the IFS. I've read some articles that mention poly, low-profile stops, but I can't find any specifics about them. Can anyone offer info on them? Are they a worthy upgrade? I have a stock-height truck with BFG ATs.

Low Pro Bumps
I've done them recently and owe Yotatech a writeup. The parts can be bought online. The ones I used are made by Energy Suspension. The part number is 9.9102. Here's a pic of the difference between the stock and the low pro lower stops:
These are a universal item (not Toyota specific). It took me an hour per side to switch these out. Most of the time was spent getting the old ones out. You need 3 per side (2 lower, 1 upper). They sell them per pair. Cost is about $24 for all 6.
14mm deepwell with extensions to take the old off (use breaker bar if stubborn), 9/16 deepwell for the new. I used a pipe wrench on the old bumpstop to keep them from spinning while I went at them with the socket/breaker bar. I ended up breaking one off (I'm in the rust belt - 10 winters for my '93 4R)
Hey, that was almost a mini-writeup...
BTW, you'll love the Bils...

Yeah, where is that write-up?
I was in Tech mood today, and got two of Joey's write-ups online :xmas7:
Cebby, I used some of your info last week for updating my page II of my
mods where I have my bumpstops on.
I went for the red ones though.
Gotta match the Edlebrock shocks ya know.

15 minutes of fame? Glad to help.
Unfortunately, I have little time for writeups since my schedule is insane with work and the 3 kids and living close to my folks, and...
Glad I took the next few days off. I PROMISE to shoot a full write up to you Corey...before new years!!

I used 2 jacks to help with changing them out. Remove the wheel 1 side at a time to give room to work and flex the suspension. Basicly jack either the center frame section or the lower A arm to the limit of travel to hold the things still while you crank on the nuts. Lower one jack and raise the other as needed to put the A arms firmly against the stops or to make room to remove and replace them. 1 inch wood blocks between the arms and stops also helped cut down on the ammount of jacking needed.
Before I did this I completely removed the sway bar which probably made it a little easier. I don't miss the swaybar, it looks nice hanging in my shed.
