What is a jounce?

Timbren manufactures an interesting product. These application specific "rubber springs" basically replace your bumpstops. In the front, they replace two of the screw-in bumpstops on your lower control arm. In the back, you remove your factory bumpstop and mount these on the frame above the rear axle. You can use them in the front suspension only, rear suspension only or both. They are very simple to install and require no drilling. They do several things; 1. help keep the vehicle stable under load, 2. assist with the extra weight of bumpers, winches, snowplows, campers, etc, 3. help those of us running racing rear springs to be able to haul extra weight without sag or extra lift, and most interestingly for us off road folks, 4. act as a sort of jounce shock in rough terrain, mellowing out the big hits and keeping the vehicle more stable in rough terrain and at high speed. They are an excellent addition to your suspension and you will notice the difference.

Call a different dealer - MSRP is $23.17 each, and if they don't have them in stock, it should only take a day or two to get them from the regional warehouse. Part number: 15161761
