i'm going as high as shawn did on his cut. maybe it will give you some ideas - but probably not b/c your rig is so much prettier than mine.
Are you using 2x6 tubing? Yeah, I'm not going to cut my rockers away, but they will tuck right up next to the seam and stick out just a bit. I'm going to make wrap-around bumpers, and the doors and adjacent areas on the fenders and quarters will get contoured 3/16" aluminum diamondplate panels fitted to them from the black trim piece on down. That should keep the rocks at bay
Then I need to clean up the springs I have and install the lift.BTW, was that Dustin who had a set of Rancho shocks for a 4" lift he was willing to sell me?

Beautiful man, just pure beautiful!!! That place rocks!!! Awsome rigs too!!!!!
dustin - i dig your pics. i'm going to have to snag a few of those. 
the pics of allan going down the luge are good for perspective on the tight fit and high walls.
greg - it's 2x6. any wider would have required more cutting, or more than i want to stick out would stick out. i could go for one more inch sticking out and having it taper near the wheel wells so that there's no edges to catch on stuff.

That's what I plan on using. I am going to taper it like you mentioned. That should keep the rocks at bay, and act as a step for climbing intothe truck once it's lifted
my step is now 3.5 inches higher - the wifey is demanding a stirrup to help get in.

That's what she has you for - a gentleman helps his lady into the vehicle
Seriously, maybe a detatchable step or chain stirrup is what is needed...?
I love that trail. Great pics guys. I can't wait to get bback out there.
Awesome pics/story! 
I love trails that have a destination like that mill.

Nice write-up! I was just there the week before, only I went in through Box Canyon and back out Cottonwood. It is a very beautiful area.
