    Thanks Matt. The pics helped. I left the bedside support brackets as is but I'm still running 33s. I'll flex out the 35s when I get them and see if I need to mess with the L bracket or not.

    Initially I cut the front using an angle grinder. I cut close to the line and then sanded it from there to make sure it was a clean cut. Sanding it chipped the paint and over heated it a bit. Once I got the snips I just followed my cut line on the front to better clean up the cut.

    For the rear I just used the snips.

    Snips would've been easy along with an angle grinder. I used a dremel the entire time I chopped my flairs :anonymous:

    I have the part number listed below the link but they are the burr-free edge sheet metal cutter. It shows them as the last ones listed on my phone.

    Could those also be used to cut the plastic flairs?

    Make sure you cut the actual fender back a little more then the flare so it looks better.

    For cutting use a jigsaw. Wood blade for plastic and metal blade fenders. dremel with plastic discs and metal discs to make any tight radius turns. A grinder with a metal cutting disc is also helpful to have around. I did my front with the grinder and it took forever, jig saw is the way to go! !!

    For the tight spot down by the cab mount area I used a POS electric body saw from HF. It actually worked pretty well. Dremel for the rest of the cuts.

    Some stuff...
    I'm going back & forth on what to do with my Bushwackers which are collecting copious amounts of dust. After reading through Bevis's entire Bushwacker mod/fab thread I'm kind of leaning that direction (have access to plastic welding). Still reading through this thread though and some other options while trying to figure out the best way to go for no rubbing on full flex when wheelin. My eyes are starting to burn from all the reading so will have to pick it up again tomorrow. Not sure what I do more of - spending $ on the rig, or reading & research on this site! :eek:

    Special thanks to skygear for suggesting this thread now that I'm lifted and up on 285/70/17s - some great info, including CMC, pinch weld pounding & liner trimming that I've already utilized. :thumbsup:
