fender trimming

[hiduke89]

i have a 3" lift on my cherokee but i got a deal on some 32" tires that i couldn't pass up. I've been think alot about fender trimming to make it so they could fit, but i don't kno of a way that i can do this with out having to spend alot of money on new flares or a new bumper...any suggestions are apperciated, good or bad.

i ran 32's without a problem really. on road driving they only ruubed the LCA's at full lock and in the rear they rubbed the fender at full flex with the sway bar removed. If you'd like I can email you pictures of what they look like and the minor damage I recieved at full flex.

i currently have them on and am running on road just fine. But I also would like to do some of road driving without having to worry so much on bottoming out. Plus i really like the look of having trimmed fenders.

hey guyz when i did my fenders i just unscrewed the little bolts on th inside of the fender, took off the flair and got a die grinder, taped off a line about 2-3 inches in front and cut it off then drilled holes and put the flares back on. but the rears i cut about an inch to two but i had to cut lines in the wheel well and welded it all back togeter there will be a little filling in, but man is it worth it.i also had to get aftermarket flares for the rear. i have so much clearance it nice going over rocks and stumps.

OK two questions....One, for the front fenders what did you do where the flare meets up with the bumper? and two, what type of aftermarket flares did you get? I am still wanting to trim mine but am afraid of the outcome, any advice is greatly appreciated.
