Sflxj perhaps you can answer a question for me. Do you trim the fenders when installing these like you do with the origional BW's? I'm loving the look.

Almost the same exact measurement as the original style. You cut a little more, very little, if you have the old ones now the hole will be exposed from them like you see in the first pic.

Nice flares, too bad the orig holes still show after mounting. Just bought a full set, front and rear 2000 TJ flares for $30. Any one interested in the rear set for $25???

@slfxj, do you have any problems dragging your bumper, looks like it sits a little low. Could be the pic but the roller fairlead looks like it points towards the ground.

Did you have to cut the rear above the pinch welds? That is pretty much the set up I want to end up with 3 inches 33x12.50r 15.

Thanks for the info. How much longer did you have to go on your bump stops to keep from rubbing?
