Yeah, definitely cut em then.

If you are running those ~38" tires with a 6" lift, and you cut the fenders like I cut mine, you will be able to run 42's.

I'd definitely recommend some lowers gears at that point, and look into beefing up the birfs.

I'm going to go with full hydro steering. I've got everything sitting in my garage to do it.
Reason being, is that it is REALLY hard to steer with the 16" wide tires and the welded front diff.

I had to make a custom drag link because I turned the stock unit into a pretzel. I used 1.5" x .25" DOM tubing and some chromo heims. It's holding up really well, but it's nearly impossible to steer if you get in a rut.

I do have lockout hubs installed, so I can unlock a hub when cruising the moderate trails, and that makes it bearable.
