    Yea the whole cutting or drilling into a perfectly good body panel kinda makes me cringe a little bit
    Thats why i hope these smaller flares cover the holes, i hate the look of these giant flares that came stock on the 01-04 but wouldnt want the holes in my fenders and i may be able to tub my fenderwells and maybe get a 1 or 1.5" bl ontop of my 3" ome lift and then maybe 35" will fit? Idk

    You MIGHT be able to get away with it, if you don't flex to hard. Wheels offset will help too. The way mine is, I can't go to a bigger tire unless I cut my bumper or get better offset wheels

    My experience has been the opposite. I've found if I am thorough about what I do and what I want and take the time to talk with them about it, they respect that and try a little harder to get me what I ask for.

    I also don't mind the waiting involved. I hang around and a few times it has paid off. Unlike Timmy, I actually get invited out into the shop so they can show me what they are doing and why and what I can do to help to get the numbers I want. :D

    Even with aftermarket UCAs, it's hard on our trucks to get more that 3* of caster, which is what I want.
