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.


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!

 

Trimmed fenders ftw!

 

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.

 

LOL... that wasn't the only jackstand under the truck... that was my insurance policy!

 

hey a smart garage mechanic is a live garage mechanic
just thought it was funny in the pic. like your custom shocks in the first pic ...

 

Yes, those are the latest in Lone Star Beer can shock absorber fashion...lol

 

One can never have too many cutting tools! Wheels look good!

 

Nice work! I'm having the exact same issue with my gen-1. I might have to follow in your footsteps and trim some fendah lol.
