JounceShocks or Airbumps?

Speeding · Aug 17, 2007

Anyone know much about JounceShocks? I'm looking into airbumps for my ZJ (and TJ when we link it), but I've seen these things all over mags and on pirate's banners so I'm looking into 'em. They're much smaller(shorter) than a normal airbump so it would make mounting it in the rear of my ZJ muuuuch easier since I could go to the buttom of the unibody, like the coil mount. Any idea what these things cost??

Pick up some air bumps from Radflo. $130 each is really hard to beat. I have two for the rear of mine

That's 2" travel, isn't it? I may do 2" airs in the rear if the Jounce are too $$, but 4" is a must for the front. I plan on lots of speed in the ZJ, think 2" be enough for small jumps/whoops though?

you can get the 4" for $130. I just ordered 2 of them. jounce are about half again what foxes are. these are $70 cheaper than fox.
jounce isn't crazy expensive for the bump, they just made it so the contact foot and mounting aren't included with it and you have to use their stuff. I can make my own bump cans, but can't make a 2 1/2" fine thread cap to screw a shock into.
Matt, thanks for the heads up, I called them up and he hooked me up right away. $280 for 2 shipped.

Shoot, when I get paid I might just go ahead and order a pair for the front now! Rear is gonna be a problem though, there is NO room to outboard it and I really don't want to go through the floor of my DD. Which is why i'm looking into Jounce, but 300 bucks each is a bit out of my range!

is the seat right there or what? why wouldn't you just build the floorboard up and over it?

Just a flat cargo floor. It wouldn't be anything to cut and box, but I'd love not to.. Any idea on the extended length of a 4" bump?

Does not matter the stroke 2-4" they are all $130 through Radflo direct. Cans are anoter $70 from Poly P. Great deal

Oh yeah I may sell mine because I don't really wanna put in the hassle to install them, probably save somebody on shipping plus I have cans.
