Default Fender opinion

I cannot decide whether or not to remove the fenders on my jeep. I have a 2000 cherokee sport lifted 4.5" with 31" tsls. I have one flare missing and i cannot decide if i should try and replace it or take the other three off as well. Looking for peoples opinions on it. pictures too if you dont mind. Thanks in advance.

Go flareless, trim it and remove your bumper end caps and install a set of the older style caps. Works pretty well.
