I am running Stock Tire High for the Rubicon. I think it is more the hight of the rocks in my area that are making it hard for my fender flares to make it over. I know my rock sliders are doing their job. I think next week I am going to chop them. I think I am going to raise the back of the front fenders and the front of the rears.
I was also worried about the look, but I think they look great!. I will be going through all the posts and start to cut!
Thanks Again Guys!!!

So, I have been out on the trails 3 times now, and the only problem that I am having is that my fender flares that I have are all messed up. They are scraping some of the larger rocks. So, I have been looking at other fender flares, but I am fairly certain that they will al do the same thing. I know that I have seen some cut fender flares on the site, but I am missing them. If anyone has done it, what are you using to cut them and what are you basing the shape off of?
Is it worth doing? Wind problems?
Any help would be great!

I have been looking at this a lot and browsing all the pictures. I think I'm going to give it a shot with his style fender "trim lines".
