How much should I cut my fenders to fit 35 inch tires on a 5.5 inch lift? Pictures will help out a lot. Ive been searching, but I havent found any good pictures

 

Depends on how much up travel you want

 

Trim and bumpstop until the tires don't rub anymore. There's no exact amount that everyone needs to trim, it really depends on how much uptravel you want out of the suspension.

 

I really like how much uptravel I have right now . Im not running any bump stops or sway bars on. Right now im running 33 inch tires.

 

You will probably hit the fenders then. Why are you not running bumpstops more importantly?

 

The area im in we need as much flex as we can get in order the enter the play area. 33 inch tires isnt big enough because the bigger rigs tear the place apart

 

Bumpstops don't limit flex. They limit your uptravel.

 

Where are the bump stops located at on the front axle if there is any

 

Inside the coil spring there is a bumpstop tower that should have a rubber insert in it.

The insert should make contact with the coil bucket or whatever is on top and limit the uptravel. Normally there is some give (compression). My towers are cut so I use a combo of 3 hockey pucks and a 12" circumference softball... And it works perfect

 

I see what you are talking about . Ill be putting some bump stops after I cut the fenders to see how much I need. I am still using stock bump stops right now

 

If I were you I would do this.

Remove flairs.
Install 35's.
Go find out how your jeep articulates and measure for bumpstop length.
Trim the bottom of the fenders and cut and fold rear.
Add bumpstops.
Wheel it and break axle shafts or u joints on 35's.

 

I already upgraded both front and rear axles both geared and lock with upgraded shafts

 

Alright then u joints would be your weak link

Are you running long arms?

You will need to bumpstop these 35's or your fender will be eaten/beaten up big time.

 

33's already already did its job on my fenders . Right now im playing the waiting game for my long arms.

 

Yep. You will need to trim and bumpstop.
