I would..... you're already going to be in there anyway and likely will have to remove the stock mounts anyway. Plus the Prothane mounts (at their normal, un-cut, height) will give you more clearance from the shaft. When I cut my Prothanes down, I lost the clearance that I gained.
Hey speaking of which, Darrell you may need to cut them down if you decide to install them, since you have a Saleen blower like mine. My blower was hitting the hood insulation when using the Prothanes at their normal height. You can cut them down, or order them from www.teamjdm.com already cut down.

Well the directions from Mustang Monthly say it is easier to remove the stock ones to get the headers install. I can buy the Prothane ones for about $150. Also do them raise or lower the motor???

Didn't say it was a bad idea I said I didn't think it was necessary. But like Tom said you are going to be there and have the stockers removed. So for the money. Go for it!

I hear somebody talking but I don't see them
You posted right before I did and I didn't scroll up???
Also I took my hood liner out but I don't want to raise my motor any any all.

Send them to Scott, he can mill them down for you.
I'm going to cut mine down on the bandsaw, can also use a hacksaw with a fine-tooth blade,then sand or file smooth.

Hey Darrell,
When are you planning to do the shorties and mounts? Before or after Dubin in 3 weeks? If it's after just drop ship the Prothanes to me and I will mill them down and give them to you at Dubin.

We got rained on pretty hard yesterday too around lunch time. The heavy rain and reduced visibility caused a few nasty accidents on I-90. I'm glad I wasn't mixed up in that traffic mess.
