Looking good..... I got a '92 with a 4.5 lift and still trying to figure out how and where to cut the fender. Could you post some pictures if you have any or write some instructions on where to cut it.

Dang, just when I was sure I was going to downsize to 31"s when I get around to redoing my lift, you go and post a pic of what mine could look like if I kept 33's lol.
Looks great though. I would love to see what it looks like flexed out.

well first off its a RE 3.5'' SuperRide w/full leafs and as for the trimming...I was scared to death to do it lol but hey its not yours until you cut something up lol anywayz - take off your stock fenders (mutilple long bolts on the inside of the wheel well) then youll see that you can pretty much anywhere you want on the front. I decided to keep the lip on the front but now i have to get rid of it becuz of the 33's but i also removed the splash guards that "make up to wheel well" just make sure not to cut the windshield washer tank and the back was the basic cut inbetween the pinch welds and fold...just DONT CUT TOO HIGH! they will still roll under if you dont cut all the way up lol I made that mistake on a few cuts but with some paint you can hardly tell and once you take off the bolts for the back if it seems like its still stuck on there lightly hit the plastic panel to the REAR and it will slide backwards. As for flexin - Im hopefully going to some trails on Thursday so Ill post some pics of the action!
