Looks good man. I finished up the install today. I like stupid at stock height with these enormous flares, but it's a step closer to the goal. Even if it looks dumb. Read on your page the wheel spacers cracked your wheels? I was thinking about getting some to correct the rubbing on the lower control arm. Bad juju huh?Originally Posted by Red Sled 01
I had to do some trimming once I installed my lift, and I just cut the bumper with a cutting wheel, following the line of the fender. You can see how it looks in my pics, though I've yet to install the BW flares, just kept the stock ones on there. I used a sanding wheel in a drill to get rid of any burs and smoothed it fairly nicely. It's sufficient until I get my replacement fenders as well.

Apparently the wheel spacers are up for debate. Some people use them without issue, though I was told by the technicians at 4wheel Parts who did my alignment, that they were the reason I had hairline cracks in every lug hole on every rim. Yikes! They mentioned something about the physics being off, as kicking the wheels out further put more pressure on the hubs/posts, but I'm not a physicist, so it's all chinese math to me..........
To some that makes sense, to others not. That's why you'll always hear arguments for both sides. It was enough to make me ditch'em altogether though.

Yikes..
I'm gonna grab some and throw them on. I need a quick fix till I have the money to get wheels and a lift. I'm going to tear up the inside of my brand new tires on that control arm.
