which bump stop kit did you go with???

You're the OP, so out of respect for that, I'm going to excuse myself from this thread.

what classifies as a failure? a bent frame?

Bent frame, blown out shocks, blown out bumps

Nah. In either case just structural damage to the frame brace its self or the bolts which hold the brace to the frame sheared off. Cross bracing and tension rods would have helped prevent the twisting action that allowed the failures.

I've got the RPG kit, and it seems to be good. The deciding factors for me between it and Outlaw were;

A) Outlaw said it might be a problem if my frame was bent (it was)
B) RPG beat Outlaw's quote and gave me a really good deal.

Does it perform any better/worse? I don't know. It gets the job done. I really don't like the harshness when I get into them on the street over a big speed bump or something, but they keep the axle from slamming the frame so I guess that's a win.

Honestly thoughts of ditching it and going with SDHQ's more compact bump setup have been going through my mind. I ride on the damn stops when I haul dirt bikes with my stock springs.

Did RPG say it would not be a problem if the frame was bent? Assuming that's what's implied right. Just curious what technical specs allow a difference of this nature between the two kits.

I had the Outlaw stop on the 2011. I worked that truck hard in the desert. The whoops in Landers are f'ing brutal. I wanted something a little beefier on my new one. For starters, look at them side by side if you can. The RPG's spanned across the frame more than the outlaws. I'm not knocking the outlaws, but I just felt more comfortable with the coverage and larger bump stops.

I went down to RPG to check things out. Corey (?) sat down with me on his CAD program and gave me the 20 min tour. That helped me decide. Jarrett was great too. He didn't crap on what I had in my 2011 at all. There was no hard sell.

Good luck with the decision. Either way, do something. Trust me on that.

So it felt more comfortable because it was beefier- is there a noticeable difference between the two while off road- performance wise? I'm ignoring how the shop treated you and how beefy it appeared.

RPG 's can be installed on a slightly bent frame and can help straighten it back out. I am not sure on the others.

This is good so far. Touchy subject but everyone's acting like big boys (and girl(s)). Continue to make me proud

I have an Icon kit with a couple thousand offroad miles on it, the same kit is going on my next raptor. I'm satisfied with it, but I'm sure I would have been with any of the vendor's kits.

I'd vote for RPG

2.5" bump stops

Hey hey. Stop the accusing and name calling or I'll delete this thread.

Nobody else get out of line. If you've got facts and opinions, state them. Otherwise let's not slander any company or member.

Bottom line.

Name calling? Am I missing a post? I don't see any name calling. Huh?

Sonoma, can't answer that yet. Haven't installed the RPGs yet.
