How much room will I get???

[Big Kev]

I have about 3.5" lift and got some tires that I thought would fit but they ended up being a little too big. I am going to have to do some trimming. I currently am rubbing a little on the bottom of the fender/ front part of the rockers. If I trim, how far can I expect to remove there? I would like to keep the stock flares. I got 32" tires with the creger soft 8. Looks good but the turning radius sucks. I am also planning on more lift soon, but not soon enough. Probably in the spring. I won't be doing too much, if any, wheeling over the winter. Thanks for the help.

You can get tons of room from stock flares if you try...

In the rear you will get an inch or so if you go up to the pinch welds. Remember though that in the rear as you flex up the wheel moves back as well.

I am not too worried about the back yet, they fit. I am not going to get out on a trail until the spring so I have time for the back. I need to get the front taken care of though. I think an inch will be plenty for now. When I can afford to add some lift it will be more than good.

You can get a ton of room in the back if you try hard enough.
