Ok, so my dad and I are going to be putting my lift on this next weekend, and I need to know whether or not you have to trim your fenders in order to put bushwhackers on.

yes i believe you do have to trim your fenders for them. and the back flare is two pieces i think, since you have to work around the door.

The cut out flares come with a templete to mark your fenders so you know were to cut them at.

yes unless you are using the stock replacement style. Just wait to do the cutting until you need to
