Title: Timbren SES Review/Recommendation
Post by: steve c on May 11, 2015, 11:47:05 AM

I recently installed front and rear Timbren bumpstops for my 2012 Xterra S. 
I was skeptical that a piece of rubber could revolutionize my suspension and handling world, but these things really deliver. 
The caveat, they are expensive.  They're hard to justify because they are not a "seen" mod.   

I would recommend these for anyone who drives a 2005+ Xterra.  I would doubly recommend these if you have any sort of lift.
My truck handles better than it did when it was stock. 
The truck does a little roll until the bumpstops make contact and then it plants.  It's hard to explain until you feel it.  (TWSS)

Anyways, on to some pics

For the front, you're going to want to buy the Timbren FXF1004A.  I bought mine on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UR35YM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

For the rear, you're going to want to buy the Timbren JRC01.  I also bought these from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UR3916/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Thanks to Jordan, Clint and Danny Toro for helping me justify spending money on these.  They make a world of difference and I wish I would of done this sooner. 

*Just a note.  The front Timbrens FXF1004A can be used with stock Xterra lower control arms and stock Titan lower control arms.  You know, for when you Tswap.

*Just another note.  On the fronts, I didn't realize how much I was actually making contact with the stock front bumpstops.  I have 2.5" Radflos with 650# springs and no front aftermarket bumper or winch.
