    I've learned during my research from other members that the jig saw will heat the plastic on the fender and make for a shitty cut, so go slow and don't let it heat up too much.

    Spacer lift, bumper stickers, ejector seat, etc.
    I took a dremel with a cut off wheel to the flares, worked great and gave a nice cut the whole length. Jig saw on the fenders.

    I wouldn't use it because its not as precise as the dremel. But I cut almost everything with the dremel :oops:

    Yep, I saw that post and they looked good. At the end of the day it's about using what you're comfortable cutting with.

    Thats right, I tend to go the slow route. Every time I do something the easy way I screw it up.

    I was the one that posted those shears. I highly recommend them...you have to be a certain kind of special to screw up the cut with them.

    I wussed out and bought a 1" body lift from 4crawler today. Still thinking about snatching up one of those cab mount relocate kits too. Anyone have any firsthand opinions on them before I order a set?
