That's turning out to look really nice man! How much trimming of the flares did you have to do? Looking to put 33s on mine (I have a 3" lift as well) with some bushwacker flares. Not sure if the amount they have you trim is enough. How is highway driving with those tires too? Want to get 33s but not sure if driving without re gearing it would be a nightmare.

As for highway driving in terms of gearing it's fine. I don't have a problem. But I'm in flat ohio. I hear it can suck in mountainous areas.

Mileage sucks tho. But eh.

Hmmm. As far as I know we have flare laws here. Wonder if i would be able to chop that much and still get some flares that would work for it. Thanks for the pics!
