What fender flares do you run

[JMT]

More or less. I remember some bending and fitting of the raised fender to fit around the grill. There really isn't much to it.

Geez! I’d like to see this. I’m very tempted, make room for 37’s easy.

And the rear @jjvw, just cut the sheet metal and go with no flare or a blank?

Look on Jeep Forum. "Get to cutting and quit your whining" or something like that. Search the user name MudB8.

Or raise the flare and figure out the lower gaps after trimming. I don't recall exactly what was done. The front is where the most room is gained.

That's it. The old MudB8 fender mod. He was using the factory flares.

Yep. David builds those things great. They look better than the AEV kit if you ask me. Definitely the way to go versus wasting 4k on an AEV kit.

This is it. Let's leave the debate of running 37's on stock axles out of this particular discussion. The rest of the process is still very interesting. Functionally, this is better than the AEV kit. Who knows why?

KWIT YNIN, git ta cuttin.. stuffin 37's under 2.5" lift.

Lots and lots of threads out there on DIY high lines. Pretty simple, IMHO. Pull the fender, bolt it back into the tub one bolt hole higher. The grill area gets a bit funky, but nothing a body hammer won't fix.

I think the two hardest things to figure out would be where to put the stuff mounted to the fenders, and how to finish the hood edge.
