I like your reworked flairs, still tons of room for your tires.

Just curious how big is your lift? I have a 3" lift and was thinking about cutting to fit 32s just wondering if that's how it will look.

Thanks

Yep it's a 3 in. I cut right along the top creased line of the fender so the flares technically sit right in the same spot only have to be bolted back on because theres no room for the flare clips. Those tires are 30's so you can see how much room is left

I like the flare look also
