    IMG_0500.jpg 37x12.50 trepadors on +/-3 inches of lift. How much do you guys think I should trim outta the fenders? Relocating the front cab mount and doing extensive tubbing in the front wheel wells. Was just hoping to start cutting the flares/fenders before the lift gets here. Thanks in advance

    To stuff 37's I'd cut up as close as you can to the gas cap door. Most definitely need to get some wheel spacers to help with the tire rubbing on the shocks, and obviously new gears.

    I think you're better off getting Fiberglass fenders all around.

    Was planning on keeping at least the bedsides. I'm planning on bobbing around 10 inches off of the rear which would be impossible with glass. I'm going to cut/tub the front to accommodate the 37s and if I don't like it I'll switch to glass.

    Long travel is on its way. I will be running wheel spacers in the rear to match the front. Gears are the next on the list. (Still deciding between 4.88 and 5.29). Rear is getting Chevy 63's.

    Hmmm... Didn't even consider that. Maybe a tube bed with mounting points for glass bedsides if I wanted them? You got my mind racing haha
