hm, looking into this myself. 2" of lift with 31s = no good for my fenders (flares ripped off before I bought it).

I used the trim flare stuff you can pick up from your local auto parts store and it looks very good (in my opinion) ill try and put up a pic in the morning

Couple more questions for trimming...

How far do I need to trim the plastic bumper that wraps around under the flares? anyone with pics please post.

What do I do with the plastic guard under the wheel well? is that needed or do I just cut that?

anyone with info/pics for either question please post

To the first question, are you refering to the plastic bumper caps? if so you can either get rid of them all together or you can extend the line that you will follow to cut the fenders down on to the bumper caps and trim them as well.
Question two, the plastic splash guard in the wheel well is not necessary. you can either trim it and find a way to re-secure it or if you look at the pics of the maroon cherokee of joe1992 you can see you can just get rid of it. Neither are necessary completely left to personal preference.
