Reviews for Prothane Front Bump Stop Kit for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Price and materials

Heard good things figure give a shot

These things are the ticket for replacing dry rotted OEM bumps. They should last longer here in the high desert than the nasty stock junk. However, a few things to note: better to have the springs off when installing if possible for starters. Second is a little bit of grease makes a huge difference in getting them in. I used a decent sized pry bar and they popped right in--passenger side better than driver, but no real problem otherwise. Seen lots of people complain about how hard these are to install on various forums--grease is your friend. A decent amount and they will give you no problems.

These are a great color, well made, gonna last forever, look cool on my dark red Jeep, but... they're very very stiff. The durometer should be much softer, or at least form some geometry in them to allow for some give. If they don't squish, they may as well be metal. I think I'm going to have to cut some off, maybe cut some slits to make it allow some more squish. My guess is the durometer is around a 100, but they should be around 40. Just one Jeeper and Mechanical Engineer's opinion.
