    Considering trimming my fenders but don't think I'll need the full 2-2.5" that I see most people do for 35's. Wanted to see if anyone has trimmed their fenders less than that, maybe 1-1.5". If so I'd love to see some pictures!

    I'm aware of that. It is customary to trim 2" on the fenders when running a 35" tire. What I'm asking is if anyone has trimmed half that to gain some more clearance with a 33-34 tire if 2" isn't needed...

    Couldn't tell ya. I did 2.5" on the fronts and never touched the back. But I have much lift and shackle flip in the rear so no rub I'm sure it'll return when I get longer shocks one of these days

    It's easier to cut more than put it back. Cut it at 1". See you it looks, if it physically works with the tires. If not cut a little more, check, cut, check, etc.

    I was hoping to see what it would look like before cutting since I wouldn't want to go with more than an inch at the moment.

    How does it look on pavement? Looks funny that the front is cut up high but the rear isn't?

    They're a great compromise between capability and every day use. I daily my truck so i need a tire that's gonna perform and last. I beat the shit out of my tires not even exaggerating. I spin em on the rocks, air em down to 8psi and go nuts in the snow. Bounce them off roots stumps and trees and then drive them 120km per day on the highway. They take it all and don't even have a sidewall nick.

    They are typical of any at tire in the mud... keep them spinning and they clear. Stop and sink. They are a snow rated tire. They handle the snow and ice wonderfully
