This is how I did mine:

 

Ok, lets not start this 20 pages of post count build up.

 

I used to have a Cherokee I bought for 300 dollars it had no roof but 3" lift kit. Cut out fender wells shoved 38 boggers under it and welded the Dana 35 took it all over browns camp even down crusher never broke a axle shaft but did snap u joint straps.

 

I have had more fun with cheap Jeeps than my daily Driver. 38" boggers would put a strain on any driveline. Are you from Mo? 2 years ago I traded a cut top Xj.

 

I'm live in Portland,or I bought the jeep up in Washington. It did great till we took it rock crawling. Bent tie rod and u joint straps but it did great on trails

 

 

Only a 3" lift? That thing has some major fender trimming going on. How was the rear trimmed and folded? I just trimmed the fenders on Red. The front was fine but the rear needs more trimming.
No lift, No sway bars 31's
The front was not yet hitting the bump stops. The passenger rear was rubbing the cut and fold at the pinch welds.

 

Did u hammer the pinch welded In? Yep 3 in lift. We didn't fold the fenders. We did the same to a stock one we got for $200 and stuffed 36 x 14 or 15 wide we had to put the rims on backwards to get enough spacing. Did great wheelin also welded rearend on it also if I find the pic ill post it

 

On my rear I cut tabs up to contour of the fender. Just past the pinch weld then beat the tab up inside. I didn't think I would need much to clear 31's. But with max angle they rub. My rear bumpstops are gone, (rotted off)
My springs are flat.
I have been toying with the Idea of moving the axle to the rear 1-2" Allowing more room behind the doors. Then cutting the inner fender out Just looking for leaf springs that would allow this.
I did my rear like this:

 

Don't cut out the fender wheel wells bad idea. There's no berrier to the inside past them that's all u got keeping rain and dirt out.

 

Yeah, that is why I just cut to the contour on this. If I was to cut any higher I would just bend flat metal to build new inner fenders. (If I really wanted to get into it)

 

Just an observation but those aren't boggers.

 

Those welds on the first picture is t nearly enough welded put 1/4 plate inside by the center pin on both sides and weld it in and pull the carrier out and and weld the spiders together and weld the spidera to rhe carrier

 

It's been years since I saw the pic I thought they where boggers but there Tsl super swampers close enough.
