I have a 67 Chev Shortbed that I put a 4.5"/5" F/R drop. I used quality stuff from McGaughy's but I was wondering, do you have to cut the bump stop brackets off the lower control arms? Plus my 255/60/15 on 10" rims rub in the front. Can I use the same tires on 8" rims with success?

I only dropped mine 2" & I sawed about half the bumpstop off, the back came down 3", sawed about half off there too.
