Default Fender cutting question
I recently put 31s on a 3" lift, and they're rubbing the backs of fenders pretty good. I don't wanna cut my fenders really, what should I do? I'll upload a pic in a comment, since it's on my phone.

You should cut your fenders. Just use a good disc and take your time. Do it well and it'll look great.

At least trim the plastic flare and you'll be fine

Do you have a factory rear recovery hook on your XJ ?
