^X2. And if you don't do a cut and fold on your front fenders, like you will have to on the rear. You can do a "rough cut" with a cut-off wheel or sawzall leaving enough to come back with a flapper wheel to get a more precise cut line. The flapper wheel will cut/sand to give you a cleaner look for your front fenders. I made a line where i wanted to be and cut 1/8" short of it. Then cleaned the rough edges up with the flapper disc. It's a lil nerve wracking to cut on your Jeep! But worth it. How does your lift ride? I got a Zone 4.5", just don't have it on yet.

Quote: Yea. I started with the rockers and kept going higher. This summer I will be doing the whole jeep. It's just easier. Take your time trimming the fenders. Pencil it first and make sure that's what you want. Once it's cut there's no going back. Let me know if ya have any questions. Good luck
Yeah, i really like the look of bedlining the rear quarter panels, so i think that'll be as far as i'm goin. Isn't it hard to clean dirt and mud out of it though? That's true, i wont be doing it till i get new tires on her, and see if i really need to trim.

Yeah, I definitely think it will be worth the work and stress. I'm pretty sure all of the old suspension parts we replaced actually really needed to be replaced. So it's riding quite a bit better than before. Did you pay for the Nitro shock upgrade?

Yeah i did. Glad to hear it rides well. Most of my suspension is worn out too. One of these days i'll get around to lifting mine.

It was at first but now I use a tire brush to clean it and it works really good. And if ya get a scratch ya just touch it up. But again, mine is mostly off road.

My next investment is going to be tires. I desperately need tires lol.

I'm going to start sanding and prepping her for the bedliner probably tomorrow.
More pics to come.
