No, it holds the bump stop. A lot of people run with no bump stop or they install a bump stop directly to the A-arm.

Not really.
That's the steering stop for the spindle.
The long "slot" on top is for the rubber snubber,... that you no longer need.

They are spot welded on. You can use an air chisel to remove them.

Would you need to remove that pc with 2.5 drop spindles and 1 or 2 " drop coils? Or would you be ok and not rub?
