I put a 6" skyjacker class two system on my '93 4x4 a few years back with all the options. Unfortunatly the 33/12.50 tires on 15x10 wheels (4"backspacing) was catching the the fender near the footwell in the front. I fixed this with 8" skyjacker lift coils. I need to get some new treads and the BFG 35" tires cost the same as teh 33" so this is a no brainer. I'm avoiding the body-lift solution at this point and am hoping I can get some good pictures of how you guys trimmed the fenders to alleviate any tire rub. There is plenty of clearance at the bumper so i'm just interested in the backside of the front fender. I need to call skyjacker and see if they might have a thicker radius arm bushing that would move the axle forward. Any suggestions are appreciated.

add washers to the bushings but make sure you still have clarence on the and uses a 3in cut off and not a sawzaw it makes cleaner cuts.

A body saw is an option as well for doing the cutting, harbor freight sells them.
