Take a close look at the rear before doing it. The pinch weld is right there and cutting into it will require sealing it up. And I thing it's a bu of a structural thing too...
The front is up to you. Either. It the inner fender back or just remove it. You'll notice you've got a lot of room to trim. Tape off your lines so you can get the look just right. Then with the metal snips cut right up to the tape so you make little tabs. These you grab with pliers or vice grips and bend over. Use a mallet for banging out roughness.

You can trim and tack on TJ flares, cheap and easy.

Look up BUSHWACKER site, they have the instructions on how to do it. And then add their flat flairs later.

I read their instructions for cutting the rear and thought it was terrible. They have you hack the hell out of the rear instead of just the good old cut and fold
