Help with this picture (lift question)

[lifted00]

This pic is of a members ride posted a long time ago (2 yrs. or more) but can't get ahold of him. He posted it had a 4.5" lift with 33x10.50's. Do the fenders looked trimmed? I was wanting to do the same setup. If he does have a 4.5" lift and 33's his setup looks like it won't rub too much. Especially if I added bumpstops.

Who owned that, Stick?
The fender looks unmolested to me.

Those fenders are not trimmed. With a 4.5 inch lift and 33's you will rub, you can bumpstop but you will lose a lot of up travel.

I agree, the fenders and flares are stock. However, in the front, as the suspension compresses the tire will move forward into the bumper end cap. The greater the angle of the control arm the more drastic this will be. The rear will “tuck” into the wheel well opening a little better but will move toward the rear and rub there. IMO, 31x10.5 work ideal with 4.5” of lift but it will still rub the front tire against the bumper end cap. 33s with 4.5” lift does “look” nicer, though.

I do have a rock lizard style bumper which will keep me from rubbing the front endcaps but I see your point for the rear.
