lowering springs vs. my bump stops

i was under my truck with the weight on it finally(dropped motor in monday night). the bump stop is about 3" from where it contacts the frame, but is on a rather large platform/spacer up off of the lower control arm.

when i install my ground force drop springs, this bump stop definitely needs modified or removed.

what have you done to yours? is there a bolt on(or close to it) one available from a different gm model?
