My mileage improved 15mpg to 18mpg on average. Originally was going with the 4:56 but since I am planning to go to 35s went 4:88. Tough to spend that much money, I put lockers on at the same time but very happy now.

That's pretty awesome I thought 4.88 might be overkill for DD but it sounds like it does just fine. I may look at going taller then.

No lift and 35s. Had fun while it lasted. Then splurged on a 3.5" MC lift.

Another pic shows my cut fenders a lil better. I'm soooo damn proud of my cut lines!!! I love cut fenders. Others hate them.

Found a better pic. Cutting them is easy and cheap. I paid $20 for the door edge trim. Don't pay $800 for some flatties!!! Horrible if ur on a budget!!!!

Man i love how yours looks! so what do you have in each pic as far as your lift? i assume first is stock the the rest with the 3.5"? I will cut my fenders first til i can cough up a couple hundred to do a fender delete kit to hide where they mounted. I know id love to have a big lifted on just for trails and beating on but to keep my budget right now, warranty and mpg im gonna keep my DD where its at lol. where did you get the door trim at specifically? auto zone, advance auto, napa? it makes for not only a good cover up of the cut but a nice trim.

First pic is zero lift and the others are with 3.5" installed. One thing to keep in mind is when/if you decide to lift in the future, you may not like the extra room in the wheel wells. I have considered actually putting my cut fenders up for sale or trading to go back to stock fenders because the added space kind of bothers me. I should be able to find someone who would trade straight up if I ever wanted to. Door edge trim is sold at most auto stores, I got mine at oreillys.

I'd trade you if you're still interested. I have a 2013 Sahara JKU so full white fenders and no scratches... yet. If not, I'll be cutting mine pretty soon.

I have 4.11's and 32's. I'm happy with them and I will stay at that size probably for a while. If you are looking at 33's then consider 4.56's.
