how is this? did you do anything special to get that kind of clearance without cutting

great looking rig.
Thanks mate, nothing too special has been done as far as I know. One of the previous owners has cut the rear wheel arches out to the top of the tubs....Then welded in the metal flare you can see. They look pretty good, but I'm going to cut them off and install some TJ flares when I do the spring flip. The tyres also rub pretty bad on the drivers side one at the rear as they made the wheel arch opening 1" smaller.

I can get some close up pics of them if you wanted.

How do you like your Skyjacker's? I installed a set on the back, doing the front next.... I haven't really had time to take it out since I upgraded them, but they seem much nicer then the blown Ranchos I pulled out.
Thanks....I didn't expect much of the skyjackers since they were so cheap, but so far I am really happy with them. I'll be needing longer shocks all round when I finally do the spring flip front and rear and do custom shocks mounts, and will be getting another set of them for then.
