semperfi96

I ripped off the corners and then took a square and did a 45 degree cut at the end of the bumper and just cut it off and the cut my fender right under my headlight. Thats it. lol

O you should have a canister in the pass. side of the bumper. I just set that kinda by my fire wall behind my pass. side fender.

While your at it you should raise the flairs too. I get carried away cutting stuff. But it helps a lot.

raise the stock flares?

wheeler

raising the stock flairs seems like alot of work that prolly wouldnt even look good!

91familyxj

Thats what i was thinking. lol

semperfi96

yeah, I think im going to go with the standard fender trim and bumper triming. Not to sure about the stock flare raising

I just marked a line on the bumper and cut it off them went right under the lights and cut back. Just remamber it will make your front tire look smaller. lol Well I only have a 30x9.5 with a 3" lift. And dont forget about the canister dont cut it. lol

Chances are you have seen stock flairs raised and didn't notice. At first glance you ca
n't tell. It dose take a day and it dose take a welder for the rear. But the front is the important one. Main reason is you can run 31x10.50 without a lift. Its all about diff ground clearance and low center of gravity. Almost all local people by me have dune it with great results including me at first.

Do you have any pics. I just think it would be alot of work for little results. Well unless you dont have a lift like you said. But I have about 3.5". But I am interested to see what it would look like
