true i could do that and i have thought about trimming the fenders but ill wait till i get the 35's..throught the trails i only rubbed twice with the 33's and that was my goal to lift high enough to where i wouldnt rub at all..plus i like the look of the flares

If it does well then whats the purpose of your thread?

edit: oh hey already on 2nd page, I cant believe you havent trimmed yet. What are you planning to do with this jeep? strictly mudd bogging? cause thats all its going to be good for

the purpose is to find out what would have to be done in order to get the extra couple inches if i decided to go that route..and are you saying with a 10" lift trails are off limits?

Dont be surprised to flop or flip.

Where do you wheel at? I usually go to the mounds and seen it happen all too often with huge lifted jeeps

yeah they are afraid to cut those pretty fenders...

I got a buddy doing 34" ltbs on NO lift and insane amounts of cutting... so if they can't do 35s on 6.5"+ they are just scared that's all

@ the OP.. I was looking at your pics... why does it look like your front wheels are pulled toward the back and your rears are pulled towards the front?

for the front you need to adjust the lower arm out further until it is centered... but you are running 6.5" arms on like 8.5" of lift right?
