[QUOTE="Ski4Ever, post: 1485600, member: 31314"] Interesting...your out of date pictures are the only ones I actually understood for the SDHQ bump pads. I still can't figure out how the items in the pictures on the SDHQ website would be installed. It looks like there are 2 holes for the center pins on the leaf pack to go through, but other than that, I'm not really sure what it would look like. I actually installed the [URL='https://camburg.com/shop/suspension/camburg-ford-raptor-17-20-rear-factory-bumpstop-spacer-kit/']Camburg bump stop spacer kit[/URL] when I did my rear springs. So you're saying that's enough, and I don't need to add any sort of bump pad? If so, it seems like a no-brainer to me as to which one I would do. It's roughly $200 for each of the bump pad kits, and would require me to remove the U-bolts at a minimum for the SDHQ kit, or physically separate the spring pack from the axle on the Forged Offroad kit. Plus I have to buy new U-bolts...not sure what the cost would be for those, but I see that the [URL='https://www.iconvehicledynamics.com/accessory/15971/icon-accessories-17-up-raptor-multi-rate-leaf-spring-hardware-kit/']hardware kit on ICON's website[/URL] is $226. I'm guessing their machined top plates are a big chunk of that, but the U-bolts are probably at least $20 or more. Or, I simply keep the extended bump stops which are roughly $100, and only required removing the stock bolt from each bump stop, adding in the spacer, and replacing the stock bolts with the supplied longer bolts. Literally could be done in 30 seconds on each side, I'm sure! Or maybe I'm missing or not understanding something... [/QUOTE]
