El cheapo fender trimming job!
 
My 31"s on 15x10s were slightly rubbing the backs of the front fenders when turning and hitting a bump at the same time. So this is what I did after work today... enjoy!

Gonna do some fender trimming!

Remove the trim and peel the wheel wells back.

Start cutting!

Yep, that's less fender alright.

Don't forget the front.
https://blazerforum.com/forum/pictur...pictureid=1357

It's much easier to trim the plastic in the front than the metal in the rear.

Now the drivers side...

This side seemed to go faster.

Ah! that's better!

This is a mild trim job but that's all I needed. I have a 2" suspension and 2" body lift with 31"s on 15x10s w/5.5" baskspacing. If you wanna run 33"s or have less backspacing you will probably have to remove more fender!

I would never trust myself cutting my baby like that haha. Looks good.

Update: Since trimming my fenders I have had no tire contact at all, not even while turning during some serious articulation on an off-road trip.

2" body lift... 2" suspension lift... got it.
What I want to know is, where did you get the 1" Hover lift?!

See Attached.

Seriously though, they turned out nice. Looks sharp.
