I torched mine off, & left the steer stops in place, then welded a pc of flatstock to the steerstop to stiffen it. the pc of the bumpstop that was spotwelded to the a arm is still there.....

Thanks on the tip for the spot welds. Any problems without any steering stops?

Without knowing more of your plans, keep in mind that if you do that and you hit a big bump of pothole, your axle could hit the frame. I just cut mine so that the U-bolts would hit just before the axle hit the frame.
