Depends how low your truck is and how much clearance you need.
I remove the part that holds the lower bumpstop,...
but leave a little to use as a steering stop for the spindle.

Re: Bump stops

Agreed. I cut everything flush except about a one inch "L" off the steering stop. I'm running 15" rims so I had to trim the lip off my A arm too. Left the top A arm stock.
