just got a jeep cherokee. Put on the 6.5" lift from rough country and put on some 35s well now i am rubbing all over and i want to cut out as much of the fender without having to get fender flares does anyone know of a good write up for a set up like that

 

I used a skill saw to trim mine. I took off about 1 inch all the way around. The biggest problem you might have is the rear where your trimming somewhat limited based on where the body panel and wheel well come together.

I went to Autozone and got some of that plastic door trim and put in along the metal edge over all four fenders after I was finished. I am pretty sure they sell it at Walmart too. The trim gave it a nice, clean look when I was finished

 

Here's a few pics of mine. I taped off with painters tape for a cut line and used a 4 1/2" cut off wheel..

ok well i just cut the front and now it can turn nicely but i dont know how it will handle off road and putting the tires up in the wheel well. I will get some picture of it up i am woundering if there is any more areas that i can cut out to give the tire some more room
