lowering a split dilemmas-help

ok, so i am being a muppet! i have a 65' split with lowered front beam and turned 2 splines on rear. i've reliably been informed the only way to pass the mot without getting irs set up and dropped spindles is to cut the bump stops off. i've had a look and the front looks fairly straight forward. can someone confirm if the front are cut off at the beam and if i cut off both ends of the bump stops at the rear, including the metal attaching the stops
