What does the bumpstop hit?

Here is the problem, A member I was talking to, before I lifted my truck, told me I need to grind them off because they would interfere with something in the brakes, but that's a bunch of bologna. Now when I turn at full lock I lose all brake pressure.
In the picture, the circle shows where the steer stop was and the arrow points to the part of the caliper it hits. Where is it supposed to hit?

The thing he circled is rubber and stops the steering knuckle from going any further than "full lock".

I had the same problem when I had my lift spindles. They failed to put a spot on the lift spindle to hit the steering stop. Without that there the caliper would hit the control arm, and I lost brake pressure as well. I never ground my stock steering stops off and it still happened. I never did anything about it though I just learned what my turning limit was lol.

The part he circled in the first pic is not the steering stop. Its the jack point for the factory jack. Look in your owners manual. Its way to far in on the control arm to be a steering stop.

I'm guessing you have a spindle lift. On a stock ranger it will hit the back of the steering knuckle at full lock.
By the way, take some needle nose pliers and pull one end of that cotter pin one way around the castle nut and pull the other side the other way.

The thing I circled is not rubber I assure you. I had plenty of shards of metal all over me when i was grinding them off, and a little blood from where I got cut too.

Dang, I was kinda hoping to fix that. I don't like to let anybody use my truck, but I really hate to let anyone use it with it like that. I know they would forget and end up hitting something.
