I have just ordered, a 4.5 inch lift off of ORA, and realised that on some trucks removing the bump stops will increase the compression, I'm hoping to have 33's on her, and enter winch challenge events.

So in short shall I remove the bump stops or leave them there?

There aren't any on mine.
The tyres hit the wheel arch extensions first - good job they are fixed on with self tappers ;)

Personally I would leave the bump stops as on full compression either the spring will become bound, or the shock will bottom out and may damage itself. Neither of these is a good way to stop axle movement! It would be worth checking out what happens on full upward movement of the axle with the big tyres fitted.
Infact on my Sammi I have lowered the front bump stops to stop the tyres getting cut on the inside of the wheelarch.
