    Bedsides aren’t necessary. But the tire isn’t supposed to stick out past the body/fenders

    Makes more sense. You'd think they'd be in for the bounce though.

    The only place I rub is the frame a little bit when turning, which can be solved with spacers. And when the tire if fully stuffed I rub at the top a little bit. I haven’t modified the bumps but I could which would solve the rub up top which is rare and minor.

    I trimmed my fenders like 1.5” in front and don’t rub fender anywhere. Glass is lame

    That’s good to hear. I agree I absolutely hate the way glass looks. I’d rather just run no fenders and add an exo if I had to lol.

    Thanks, will be keeping this in mind for future endeavours :cheers:

    Stuff. Also things.
    Same here. I had to trim a good amount of the fenders on mine and beat the piss out of the inners under the battery and the air box because I didn’t want to sacrifice bump travel. I don’t rub at all at the fender or firewall, but I do rub slightly on the frame at full lock. Whatever.

    And yeah, glass is lame. Not appealing to me at all, and the quality and figment seems to be pretty spotty.

    The frame rub is almost reassuring I’m sure, means your frame is still there :thumbsup:

    Make Jeep style fenders. Bent tube with some thin sheet metal to fill the gap.

    Maybe you’re not up to date with my truck. This is no longer an issue I cut off all the tube
