An anyone post pics of what all they had to trim and how far for 37s when you've got a 4" lift?
I finally got my tires mounted and it looks like the only problem will be the pinch seam at the rear.

Will post a pic when I walk the dog in a few.
If you have extended bumpstops with your lift (2.5" front and 3.5" rear minimums per planman) then you can just take the corner of the pinch seam off at the front of the rear wheelwell. I took off a triangle about 3" up from the bottom and about 3" in from the corner.

Also, if you have Rubi rails you need to trim at least 2" off the end at the rear wheelwell.

No rubi rails, got rid of those in favor of the Smittybilt, doesn't look like they'll be a problem...

Here is my trim with 3.5" lift and 1.25 bodylift. Hope it helps. Didn't trim too much. I did trim my rails but see you are running something different.

Not sure which orientation this pic will come out, so you may have to rotate it.

Good luck, you are going to love your 37's.
