For anyone out there who's replaced the stock bump stops, did you go stock or is there a better 3rd party option?

Not sure if there's different models for ride quality vs offroading. I've looked online, but nothing seems clear.

Here's what I'm dealing with.
Front:



Rear:



I know GM makes a rounded bump stop for the IFS, as well as the pointed one we get with the H2s. There's also so many aftermarket options, my head is spinning.

The shocks are shot too (107k & I'd bet money they are original). Those are coming out.No clue if anything needs to be done to the rear. The bump stop feels good / looks good.

Anything I missed in the pics?

 

Go with the OEM bump stops unless you have/want a lift kit. You want the pointed style (part number 15835667) as these are progressive style bump stops as opposed to rounded bump stops which are just linear. The cheapest I found was on ebay, but that was a few weeks ago. Your rear bump stops look fine so I would keep them.

Your photo #2 looks like the front shock to me. It's hard to tell if a shock is good/bad by just a photo. The best way to check the shock is to pull it off and compress it by hand then see how the shock rebounds; but at that point you might as well just replace them especially at +100k miles. For those parts reference the thread: https://www.hummerforums.com/forum/h...63/#post324059 Also, you need a really long socket extension to to remove/install the rear shocks. I haven't done it yet but I would probably pick up a 20" extension.

 

Nevermind. Disregard the thread I posted above. Your 2009 has different shocks. Let me know if you need help with the part numbers. I can pull them up for you
