Hey guys...I have a 2012 SD4 SE. When driving over a speed hump at anything faster than a trot the front shocks topping out with a solid THUNK. Apparently this is "normal" from new. Is there any aftermarket shock, or bump stop or whatever, to prevent this? Its like the shock runs out of travel on the down (return) stroke....

Doesn’t sound normal to me!

I would have said the same, but while searching the topic on a number of forums I saw several comments to this effect and evidently they do it from new. My friend's does the same. Very disconcerting because its definitely an "ouch" sound!

Mine does the same on one specific hump in the road that I would go through at 40mph usually. The answer has been to gently slow down to 30 while approaching the obstacle and then speed up again. Problem solved!
