Here's mine. Just used a angle grinder with cut off wheel on front and rear. The front will soon be higher.

I traced a line around the outside of my stock fender flare and cut there.

That's been more than enough for 35's and 5"s of lift for the longest time.

Same here, just used a white paint pen. Running 32s without a lift atm.

If you can get your hands on a pair of electric shears make it a really quick job for the front and they leave a clean line.

They are similar in that they are both skulls.





Anywho, OP, more isn't always better unless you like that hacked up looks.
