2.5 lift 37s rubbing question
I know there is a million post on this but is there anyone who has cut or bent the pinch seam all the way around the rear wheel well I know I will need some extended bump stops but if this is possible I would like to make more room and use less bump extensions thanks

I haven't followed any threads on trimming all the way around but you might find some useful info here. Or shoot a PM to planman if you don't find the answer you are looking for.

Lots of people do it. When you buy PSC flares, they serve as a guide line for your cut. You can cut all the way around the well to stuff a set of 40" tires.
And fwiw, I have 37's with 2.5" bumpstop in the rear. My tires dont make contact with the tub at all. I'm gonna go with 2" instead when I get the time. Ive done copious trimming of the front and rear pinch seams though.

I just moved up to 37s from 35s with a 2.5" lift. I had already done my pinch seems for 35s but I had to cut more with the 37s and trim part of the plastic liner.

The 2.5 lift, copious trimming and 37" Krawlers is the direction I want to go. Working in a body shop, trimming the seam all the way to the tub and welding the gap doesn't scare me.
