    After discussions with some local guys I trimmed 3/4" out of the fender and smashed back the pinch weld to clear my 34s at full stuff. The front fender body has a natural bend in it that is 3/4", so I free handed a line at the bend to start trimming. After trimmed I put the tire back in and stuffed it with a jack. Everything was clearing so I left it at that. Note my 2" original line that I'm glad I didn't cut first. I'm going to trim plastic flares a bit, maybe 1/4", waiting on some ordered fender clips to come to reinstall. Photo dump..
