No, I didnt trim the flare. I just marked them at the flat spot on the body. I wanted to bring them down farther but didn't know how to cut them over the curved spots. I did trim the wheel well as much as I could got all my flares for 75. Not too bad. Thanks.

Nice! I like it, but I thikn I'll try to keep mine full length and fit them into my bumper ends (1998 Sport) I just need to find another free set of rear flares and I'm a go for this... found a set in a C-list curb alert a while back, and then I'll have to step tire size as well, so I don't look like a rollerskate

Looks really good. I dont feel that its out of place at all. Anyone other than a XJ owner wouldnt know the difference.

Hey what height lift and tires are you running?

I have 33x12.50x15 on it now. The lift I was told it's a 4-4.5 but a friend has one and his is a 4-4.5. So mine is about 5.5.

I put tj flares on mine, I think they look great. I wired in the side markers. The tj flares really open up the wheel well for bigger tires. Its an easy swap for a 2 door.

I used Rubi flares on mine. They are 2 in wider than regular TJ flares. They make great tool rest shelves, and I can walk on them which is good cause I had to hook and pull out a wrangler in the middle of a swampy area. No way i was walking in that sludge. Plus they cover the tire, keeping the mud flying down to a minimum and landing the windshield.
