Anyone had any success keeping your stock 97+ front fenders with ~5.5" of lift and 33's? (99XJ, RE 5.5" lift, 33x12.5 tires on 15x8's w/ 3 5/16" backspacing). I've read all the how-to's for trimming, but would like to keep the existing flares, and don't really want to run bushwackers.
After folding in the body at the rear of the front fender wells a couple times, I was thinking of just trimming off select sections of the sheet metal underneath the flares. This would leave the flares in the stock positions, but at extreme "stuffs," hopefully the tire would only hit the flare (and not the body).
I've also heard of a few people moving there flares up a bit for this sorta thing.
Thanks,
