I've read all kinds of threads on forums here, read through info from manufacturers, talked to vendors, etc, and I just keep finding conflicting information. After you replace the rear stock springs with either Deavers or ICONs, do you need to a bump pad so that the bump stop does not just contact the axle tube? I understand that extended bump stops are needed, but I can't figure out if new bump pads are needed or not. Some seem to say it's okay to just have the bump stop contact the axle, whereas others say you have to buy one of the following 2 options:

https://forged-offroad.com/product/bump-pad-for-after-market-springs/?v=f24485ae434a
I see that the SQHQ bump pad says it's for Deavers. Is there a reason it wouldn't work with ICONs also? It just sits between the spring pack and the spring pad on the axle, so I don't see why it wouldn't, but maybe I'm missing something.
I also don't really see what the Forged Offroad kit does, or where it sits on the axle. Does anyone have any pictures showing it actually installed? I can't picture it looking at the images on their website.
