    Anyone have experience with heavy trimming of the front fenders behind the tires? Any pics/tips/ideas? Also, anyone gone to longer control arms to scoot the front axle forward for clearance? How much? THANX -David

    I've seen some Bushwacker cutouts that take alot from the top but almost nothing from the rear of the front fender. I guess 'cause theres not a whole there to work with. BTW you can't be as Broke as me rotfl .

    I did some trimming for a guy that we installed a 5" fabtech kit on. I hated every minute of it and felt like I had just robbed a nun. Sorry I would not take pictures of it.

    Haha, no...i'm broke, and so is the jeep (has been for years), and the dodge is my limp-along DD...no towing my jeep anywhere, my truck is a towrig by definition, but not by use :rolleyes:

    got tire clearance pix up in the dodge folder of my album. 325/70 r16 bald terra grapplers.
