pingpong Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 You shouldn't have to trim you ride at 2" and 31's, unless you got insane flex and need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Here is my MJ I'm in the process of reworking for maximum tire clearance and uptravel. The flare is raised past the bodyline. Just clamped on right now, they will be bolted on after work today. Side view Image Not Found Fit at front body line Image Not Found Fit at rear bodyline and filled gap Image Not Found Tire coverage with 33x10.50-15 on 15x7 rims with 4" of backspacing Image Not Found Another view showing the 11" of clearance over the 33" tire with 6" of lift Image Not Found Outside in the dark... Image Not Found I still need to rework the front part of the inner fender, remove the rust, paint the fender, mount the flare and make a inner fender liner.

TNT Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 If you don't want to get that crazy, here is how my XJ was set-up. Here some pictures of the front flares on my '95 XJ. I raised them to the bodyline, filled the gap and the reformed the flare so it still extends all the way to the bottom of the fender.

90PioSport99 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Or you can ditch the flare like I did and just use a product similar to Trim Lok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why are those rim all dirty and your truck is clean as all the other DM mall crawlers. :popcorn: That rear trim turned out great.

comancheon33 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 RenixPower must have gone wheelin in the mall parking lot that is under construction. Really though trim them and use a cresent wrench to fold up the lip. It gets rid of the sharp lip and makes the fender stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to come down for at least 2 day because my truck will only run about one day out of the 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
