Talking OOOPS!! Maybe lowered the front too much!

So, today i took my lower a arm loose on my 86 c10 and got my coil out and took 3/4 of a coil out of it, looks about how i want it. But now i have another dilemma, there is like a little step up right beside the bump stop on the lower a arm, it doesnt appear to be for anything? Has anyone else ran into this problem and is it safe to modify it by eliminating it all together? Thanks guys!

Re: OOOPS!! Maybe lowered the front too much!

Are you talking about the bumpstop/steering stop bracket?

I ususally trim off the bumpstop part and leave just enough steering stop to contact the spindle.
Some people remove them completely.

Like I said,... some remove it all together.
But I like keeping the steering stop.
