    Don't trim, just get a leveling kit, they're really easy to install and doesn't damage your truck

    Turn the wheel at full turn and see where it touches the plastic and mark it with a silver or white marker then shape it and cut it

    ^^you still have to trim lol

    Curious though... If I get a leveling kit would that make my front end higher than the back? My current setup is 285/70R17 on KMC revolvers with a 3" Procomp lift.

    You already have a lift...
    A leveling kit would be to level the front to the rear if you where stil stock

    I just washed my truck last night and I see condensation in my taillight. How is it that I put my headlights in the oven and peel them apart and they're perfect but my stock ones I haven't touched leak? :facepalm:
