That is definatley the best fender trimming job I've ever seen. I really like the lips on the edges just like the factory.

Here's mine:
I cut the inner fender mounts and moved them towards the cab and rewelded them in. I am running 42"s with 6" of lift and some bump stops.

Thanks alot guys, I have another pic I found that shows the inner bracket I cut thru, I just used tape to find the line I wanted. I did a relief cut on the inside of the fender asn was able to bend the inner well back. the other weldind area u see is the patch I put where the inner well bolts to the front firewall brace.
do i see revolvers???front....
rear...
39.5" TSLs with aboot 5" of lift.

Just did this myself about two weeks ago.
Get some of the wide (4"?) blue painters tape to protect the paint and then just measure out what you want to cut. I based my cuts off of a fixed distance from the body line that goes from front to rear of the truck. Worked well for me.
I used DeWalt .045" cutting wheels and some thicker other brand wheels when I couldn't get to Lowe's for more of the DeWalts. The thinner ones worked better, at least it seemed that way to me. If you get your initial cut going straight then chances are good that it'll just sorta pull the grinder along and your cut will be nice and straight. I kinda ****ed up mine and the driver's side rear fender isn't as straight of a cut as the others.
Beware as the grinder sorta convinces you to cut more than you had intended...
