Default Bump Stop How-To?

I need help figuring out what to do with these gigantic bump stops that are in the way of everything.. Anyone have a how-to on the best way to get rid of them or cut them back or remount elsewhere?? Pics helpful! I am getting frustrated - my search button did not help! Thanks!

i did this when i got my TT'2 with 315's. just grind back the part that sticks out towards you. make it flush with the inner wheel well.. your not removing it completely or moving it at all.. i just marked mine with a sharpie and took it off went on the band saw with a metal blade and was done in 5 min. sorry no pics hope this helped a little..

I may be retarded.. but are there 4 bolts holding the bump stop in place or just 2? I haven't got out there to double check. but if I cut it back to be flush = byebye bolts lol..

I am gonna run out there now to look..

yep if im grinding back as far back as im thinking - to be flush .. id be takin those bolts out with it lol

EDIT: I just hope my buddy can shed some light on this - i think im ruh-tarded or something lolol
