Okay Y'all. I'm wondering if there's any way to cut the lip off the back fender...
See the front can be cut to be flush along the body. I hate the lip on the back fenders. if anyone has done this or have tried doing lemme know
Michael.
I couldn't find a good picture so I borrowed this from XJ^REMY

Make cuts in it, and hammer it up. If you want more cut than that, you'll have to do a lot of work. Cut and fold is all I did to mine, and its plenty to fit 33's on 1.5" of lift.
Here's a pic of mine, cut and fold on the fenders, 1.5" lift, and 33's fit perfectly fine.

Sorry i forgot to add. Ive allready trimmed them. I just wanna make the back fenders flush with the body and get rid of the lip. There 2 layers on metal on it. I have a hole on one side where you can see thru the body

There's no easy way to make It so there's not a gap between the body and inner fender
Only way to do that is to cut the lip off and weld on a new inner fender because the lip is outer body and the wheel well meeting together with a pinch weld.
