Front Fender Trimming

I have an '89 XJ Wagoneer Limited...3" Skyjacker lift with 1-1/2" shackle lifts in the rear in addition to 3" lift replacement springs (not AAL's). Currently running 31's and considering running 33's with new wheels too (son wants my 31's). Wondering how to trim the rear of the front fender flares. I trimmed the front side with a saws-all...without removing the flares...to fit the look of my Tomkin bumper. Know I need to trim the rear side of the front fenders to run the 33's, but wondering if I need to remove the flares to do so. I know removing them will be a PITA cuz of age...

Any help will be appreciated. Also, any advice on trimming to fit the rear will also be appreciated. I've searched...but didn't see something that fit my need.

I know there are a bunch of posts here on the subject, but here are some outside links:

Man you should check in at least once a week to check out the boards. Everyweek someone asks this stuff. Here is this weeks version http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=71554


Enjoy!

yea right i almost wish i wasnt running 33s on this lift because i feel obligated to answere to ALL these threads becuase its such an easy response.. ahh o well

taking off the flares requires taking off about 6 nuts on the inside of the fender well. Takes about 3 minutes. I think they're 10mm nuts, just put some PB blaster on it and they're out. It's not hard at all.
