Default "pulling" fenders

I have 31's on a 2" lift and don't want to cut my fenders. Is there a way to pull them like the ranger guys do? Even a half inch or so would let them tuck perfect. I just like low n wide, don't wanna lift. And I like the look with the stock flares. Jw if anyone has seen this done or knows of a write up or anything. Thanks guys!

Exactly. Just to add a slight flare to the fender itself.

There is a metal bracket attached to the fender at the top middle right around where the flare sits. Pulling your fenders out won't be easy, and it will probably look like poo. You can trim and relocate the fender flares. I did that. The back, I had to cut into two pieces, one piece for the door and one that went on the body so the door would still open. It looked pretty good. Sorry I dont' have pics. They were only like that for about 2 weeks.
