to fit my 33x10.5s using the 1.5" BJ spacers and a 1" body lift blocks, i didn't have to "trim" anything. i beat the inside of the fender well, right above the mud flap, until it didn't rub anymore. i pulled the front valence forward and just bent it out some. that thing eventually got yanked off in some muck and vanished. this pic is a few years old, but you can see i've still got the valence and the wheel arch molding on and no cuts in either.



it says you've got 33x10.5s too. are you rubbing now, or are you looking to upsize to some bogger style tires?

Here's what I had to do on my truck: HERE
Different generation vehicle, but it'll give you ideas on what needs to be addressed since most tires are going to rub in similar places regardless of axle setup or year.

Check out SCUBAs build for some good pics of what's generally needed to fit larger tires with firewall rubbing and fender trimming. Again, same could be applied to a SFA rig.
