Upgraded Bronco Raptor Bump Stops (3D Printed)!!

Just announced, new bump stops for the Bronco Raptor!

I started testing these months ago and went through multiple iterations. Each time I went out to a large OHV area an harassed by Bronco to give feedback. The final product is amazing.

The hard rubber stock bumps did next to nothing to prevent the front tires from slamming into the fenders and the rears barely ever made contact. These new 3d printed bumps (that’s right, 3d printed) work like a charm to “catch” the front suspension before it bottoms out to allow the shocks to keep up. Fully compressed they are the same size as OEM so same travel, but they engage sooner.

This is hands down one of the best mods I’ve put on my car and I highly recommend them for anyone who plans to use their rig!

Interesting, with being 3D Printed. What is material, and will it endure multiple compressions and cold Winters? I wasn’t aware 3D printing could use compressible material.

Definitely interesting, check out the website in the link in OP.

spoiler alert: it’s hollow inside and appears to rely on “valving” ( one or more holes) that let air in and out on compression and rebound. The material itself doesn’t appear to be very compressible, beyond the collapse of the external structure.

nice cross section picture makes it fairly clear. Only time will tell on durability.

You’re a step in ft of me.
I did go to website and saw the hollow valve compression… Little bitty holes! I wonder how snow & ice will work with the little holes?

Looks like a good design, much better than OEM for function… durability would be my main question for the 3D material.

Look up zellerfeld 3d printed shoes. Apparently they are pretty comfortable and very durable

Sorry I’m late to this! I drove through mud and sand specifically to see if I could get the holes to clog. I also drove into a door-deep mud puddle and sat there for a minute to see if they would full up. I’ve had them for about 5 months now and have noticed zero degradation, fraying, or signs of decay. Granted that’s not a super long test period, but the most I can offer. The manufacturer explained that the cold weather doesn’t affect them. I tested them in the 90s/100s and they worked great

nice but these seem outrageously overpriced

What's the material?
