I recently traded for some full length Gold Tip 5575 arrows and their website says they are 9.3 grains per inch. I was told that I need at least 10 grains per inch out of my 52lb longbows with FF string. Is there any way to make the 5575"s work or will they cause problems with my bows?

I could not begin to tell you how heavy of a head you need over the Internet. Only tuning can answer that question.
You SHOULD be able to get that shaft to work at or near full length with somewhere around 200gr total weight (insert and point/broadhead) up front.

My best advice, and take that with a grain of salt, is to order a set of test field tips and start tuning. The ones I ordered go up to 250g. You can put on the weight head you want to shoot and tune from there, bare shaft tune if your form is on point. Take off a 1/4" at a time from the nock end and shoot again until it's flying nock centered. Nock left is too soft, take off another 1/4". Nock right is too stiff, drop the point weight.

Like the other guys said, if you cut them, you will need to add more weight up front. Like I said earlier, only first hand tuning will tell you exactly how much weight you need to make them perfect! It is almost always better to start out long and cut when tuning tells you to. If you make an arbitrary cut, you could make the arrow not suitable for your setup.
