Xj bushwackers
I was thinking of buying some bushwacker fender flares for my 95 xj and i was also going to cut my Fenders before that.. Are the bushwackers one size fits all or are there sizes to fit your cut fenders? Because im trimming atleast a few inches off and want to make sure they will still fit on there. Thanks in advance

They only make one size. They don't make them to cater to your already cut fenders. Rather, it's the other way around, you cut your fenders to cater to their flares.
You can find the install instructions anywhere online. Look at the pictures in the instructions and make sure you don't cut more than what's pictured

just look at pics of bushwhackers and take note of where the bolts are. just don't cut more metal than where the bolts go. you just need to have enough metal to drill the holes.
as for a nice even cut, the bushwhackers have a large bottom lip that will hide a poor cut fender.
if you can see the fenders in my avatar, they are cut up higher than the body line, and i still could attach my front bushwhackers, but had a bit of an opening above the flare.
but i've since replaced my fenders and recut for a nice fit.

Which flares are you going for? The cut-outs, or the flat style? I know that with the flat ones you mostly just trim the sides rather than the top. Don't trim before putting the flares on either way--you'll want to follow the instructions. I've done a flatty install for a friend if you have any questions about those, also the PDF is available on their website.

this is the only one i can find of the install... the top and front is already cut the back i just have to cut on the lines and fold back the metal
on top those are the stock holes from the stock fender flares
this is for the flat stlye idk what style your going to get but i think the pocket style is a little different but dont think buy much

This gives you an ideas as how much you can cut, it doesn't show dimensions but pictures may give you a referance....

Personally, I'd never even consider the goofy "cut-out" style flares.
You have another option like tube fenders https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f10/h-...s-here-139959/ another one http://www.jeeptubes.com/ if you want some monster flares http://notchcustoms.com/shop/x-max-fender-flares/
