[QUOTE="Rick@FreedomMotorsports, post: 1485602"] If you are asking if they are needed, then Yes. They are there to stop the travel from going too far. If it continues past, you are going to start to ruin the leaf springs. I have seen them break a few leafs when it happens over time. Plus the force coming up and slamming is going to be very harsh. We recommend a full bump stop kit like RPG or ICON as it does help a lot when it travels up and an actual bump shock slows it down to a smooth transition. Hitting the factory bump pad can be harsh too and it doesn't give that much and can kick your rear-end. We do not sell SDHQ so we recommend the Forged Off-road as it is more robust. And you are correct, the Forged one does go under the leaf spring so the recommendation is to replace the u-bolts. If you don't want to do that then the SDHQ is the way to go and Chris can take care of you with that (If Chris is the one at OA that is responding). Personally we don't recommend the spacers even though we sell the ICON and Camburg ones. Yes it hits the axle and extends it to be the same as stock but you are hitting a round axle. That bump is only held in place by one bolts. You hit that axle just right, you are going to rip that bump off. Hitting a flat surface is you better bet. But ultimately a full bump stop will provide the best performance. We sell the RPG and ICON one and the ICON strike plate doesn't require to remove the leaf springs. We recommend the ICON leaf with the ICON bump and Deavers with the RPG. But they can be mixed. Hope that helps and if you need anything, just message me. Thanks, Rick [/QUOTE]
