For those of you who want to gain more clearance while keeping a stock fender look here is my write up on my front fender trimming of a pre '97 cherokee.
I'm sitting at 4" of front lift and have some extremely bald 32" BFG ATs. And let me first say that if I stay at the current lift height with the same size tires, I will probably have to trim more than what I show in this write up. Ideally I want to be at 4.5 in the front, in which case it would work I think. But either way, if you want a stock look, this will give you more clearance and you can prevent rub using bump stoppage or more trimming (obviously ) So enough with the talking
Remove the flairs and cut here first
Then cut just below the holes
I also cut the lip that goes in towards the center of the jeep on the flairs. After that I just painted them with some Duplicolor spray on bedliner.
And then, using some simple bolts and nuts, I mounted them to the fender without using the silly retaining strips
It kept a decent stock look and in my opinion more aggressive
However, even at partial stuff, I can already tell that I will either need to go up another .5" or trim some more.
And please excuse the extremely bald front tires lol
