Enough so it doesnt rub. Take the fenders off, see where it rubs and trim till it doesnt rub anymore.

Get them. With only like 50% left they shouldnt be a true 33 inches. I dont know how Super swampers are but they should be less than 33

good thought, plus its 75 dollars for 4 of em. but i can also stick to my original plan to get a 3inch lift with 31's. i had that planned out for about a yr til i got the call on the swampers
