If you can tell me what you would see, I'll post a pic, ASAP.
No need to waste your time with pics.
If the front suspension is banging the bumpstops all the time the ride will be crappy.
I ususally remove the rubber bumpstop and the metal stand off the lower a-arm. (I try to leave enough metal for the steering stop to contact the spindle.)
You also need to re-think those 255/50-20 tires up front. That's a 30" tall tire. which will be fine if you remove the inner fenders. Not sure if you will have issues turning with a low static drop. I try to stick with a 27" tall tire up front if you keep your inner fenders. (245/40-20 or 255/40-20)

Good luck.
