how much cutting is involved in fitting 33s on a 3inch lift?

 

til they fit

 

It depends on what it will be used for and how much you want to do. It could range from alittle to a massive amount. The more bumpstopping the less trimming

 

Cutting and folding the rear is about as far as you want to go regardless of tire size unless you want to be welding the quarter panel and inner fender back together and up front, you can cut as much as you want without really hurting anything. Trim as much as you feel comfortable and bumpstop for the difference so they don't rub while flexing. There's a decent write up in the write up section here.

Here's the write up in how to do the rears: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/cutting-rear-fenders-1718/ I did the same thing on mine and with a little bumpstopping I could fit 33's no problem
