Front lower bump-stops

[bob_o]

I'm running McGaughy's 2.5" dropped spindles with cut coils on my '75 1/2 ton and with all 4 tires sitting on the ground, I have about about .5" travel between the lower bump-stop and the frame. The bump-stop is mounted to a stamped steel bracket that appears to be welded to the lower control arm.

My question is, what are my options as far as getting some more travel? Remove the factory rubber stops and replace them with some low-profile polyurethane stops on top of the factory bracket? How hard is it to remove the steel mounting bracket from the lower control arm? Am I overthinking this and there is a super simple solution to this issue that I'm just not seeing (not including raising the truck back up )?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!
