How much trimming?

[uberbeans]

First, I know about the first thread but I have to ask. Will I need trimming on my 5"front/ 6" rear lifted Blazer with 37" inch tires? If so how do I do this cleanly/professionally? I ain't skeered to cut!

then just put your tires on, cut it, and dont worry about it.

I don't want to cut too much or make it look crappy, though. Is there a technique to knowing how much?

I just followed the path of the inner fenderwells, towards the bottoms/front& rear-looks good. Cleaner cut lines than just hacking them off at an angle. I cant post pics...leave me email..I'll send pics.

That would be great! [email protected].

Put your tires on and go somewhere where you can watch the truck with a buddy who know what he is doing get it flexed out until it almost is rubbing trim a little and repeat. You usually need to trim just a bit more than you think. It seems that just a bit out of the leading and trailing edges on the front and sometimes none out of the rear is what is mostly needed. To do a pro job use brand new blades and go slow. The last truck I did (36" swamper TSLs no lift) I used a sawzall and a grinder with a cut off wheel

Where do you live?

I'll have to give it a try. To make my custom bumpers fit I already trimmed some and it might be enough. Thanks.

i have 38's on a 6" and could drive with out trimming. I then cut following the inner fender well and slopped it towards the rear. I then folded the inner fender well, after cutting it off fender lip some, to the floorboard with a BFH.

What do you mean "folded the inner fender well"?
