Here is our first 4G tacoma product🤟 We built this bumper to be the go-to high-clearance option for the 4G Tacoma. It’s a hybrid plate + DOM tube design that keeps the weight down while still delivering serious strength, perfect fitment, and max departure angle. Quick Breakdown: Hybrid design: DOM + Plate Construction – 1/4" plate structure paired with a 1.75" × .120 DOM main tube and dual 1.5" supports per side. Integrated 2x2 Hitch – The hitch is built into a 2" × 2" × 1/4" tube and welded to the 1.75 main tube. chain attachment plates doubling as gussets Laminated Recovery Points – 3/8" center plate with 1/4" overlays. Works with ¾" shackles and ⅞" pins. Gussets tied to the 2x2 tube and frame horns span behind the recovery points Crossmember Delete – Factory rear crossmember comes out for maximum clearance and departure angle without losing rigidity. Sensor-Compatible – Retains the factory BSM sensors x back up sensors Lighting Options – rock light mounts on the gusset behind the 2x2 tube and chase light mounts on the 2x2 tube Adjustable Plate Mount – Tool-free design lets you move the plate for street or trail. Built in the USA – Jig-welded A36 steel for consistent fitment and durability.

Someone told me about Timbren bump stops and how they'd be a valuable upgrade for my truck. What caught my attention was when he explained how it would significantly improve my truck's towing performance.

After hearing what he had to say, I did my own little research and found out that it helps to reduce rear sag, sway, and roll. There's also Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System (SES), which uses Aeon rubber springs to absorb heavy loads; that would help to ensure a more stable and level ride.

Compared to factory bump stops, I think Timbren’s progressive spring rate aids in minimizing bottoming out, which offers more comfort and control during towing.

Can't really say about the installation process, but from what I've read so far, it's quite easy to install, and more interestingly, it requires no maintenance.

Given they're ideal for heavy loads, it means reduced suspension stress and driver fatigue, making towing safer and smoother for owners who carry out lots of towing activities. I'd do well to check it out and potentially have it installed on my truck too.
