hey can anyone tell me how much extra clearence i get from chopping the outer fender flange off ?? i wanna run 35" bfg m/ts and i know i can do it with a 3" body lift yes they will rub a lil when all the way turned or full flex so i will have to cut a lil,..... but i was wondering if i cut a lil more if i can avoid the body lift??

 

Here's the definitive guide on how to trim:

Are you talking about the front or rear? Rear is going to be a problem - the door gets in the way of much trimming.

 

both front and rear and thanks for that link it will help alot as for the back should i get the tires and try that method to see if they could fit or breakdown and bodylift???

 

you should be able to cut the back enough for 35's but the thing is that its 2 layers and once you cut they will be separate and you will have a gap. but if you can weld then all you would have to do is weld it back together
heres what mine look like i still havent welded them yet

 

sweet thanks dude

 

ok so i threw them on and just had to chop the back of the front fenders a bit but its gonna rub at full flex so i am gonna add the 3" body lift in a few days i know quite a few friends who made there own for like 50$ using allthread and 1/4 inch 2X3 inch square stock is that a bad i idea and if so y?? i am a lil low on cash and dont really wanna spend 140 bones on a nylon body lift:/ is it really worth the extra money???

 

input??? bump

 

You need at least Grade 8 hardware ... allthread is rarely rated for load.

The spacers need to be big enough and subsantial enough to fully support the body.

If you're tight on cash, why not just trim more - it's free!

... oh - and PIX!

 

i will upload some pix today and thats a good point i will get grade 8 thanks

 

ok here are the pix

 

and from the back

 

is there any way to quickly tell how much flex my suspension has at full compression??? for ifs???

 

drive up something with one of your front tires untill your bumpstops touch

 

or use a jack

 

wow flexed alot less than i thought it would thanks

 

Curious: do your front tires rub the frame rail at full lock with that setup?

 

nope not at all tho i kinda expected them 2 no problems
