Ive only seen three guys on here doing a 2 in lift running 33s, two of which were complete beaters. Anyone have any kind of experience with this? I want to keep my COG as low as possible and still have a capable rig. I plan on upgrading all the arms, shocks, springs ect. But I don't want to cut blind on my fenders.
Pretty sure you'll need to trim at least a little to fit 33s. But only in the front I'd guess. The rear wheel wells are big enough to squeeze 35s in there. But since the fronts turns, you need more clearance. Fenders can be trimmed and still look decent. Don't just cut them and leave a flat edge. Cut them so that you have an edge to fold back for a lip. It gives the inner fender liner something to hold on to and provides more rigidity
