My o' my, what to do when the new 37" tires won't squeeze up into the fenders with a 3" lift? Well, not wanting to drop the bumps more than the current 2" and not wanting to go taller, modding the fenders is the only way to go. Here is the start of the rear - pretty much flipping the lip inside out along with much of the material above it... sort of looks like the lip on a 55. The radius on the opening has increased roughly 1".... I started with the tree damaged side...

Brian,
JJJ and I only needed to bend the fender lip inwards. that seemed to take care of most of the rubbing. JJJ took of his flares and bedlined the outside, however, I just trimmed my rear fenders so that when full stuff, they don't touch the tires (maybe just a hair). Currently I run 2" bump stop extension, and at full stuff, I get some rubbing (very slight, more of just a farting sound than anything real damaging)...I've stuff them tons and nothing has ripped off with what mods I have done to allow them to stuff. Then again, i'm running Krawlers and you are running Mickeys...and I'm running tundra rims with small spacers...and I'm not sure what you are runnning, so all our geometries, i'm sure, are very different. Once I get home, (i'm stuck in Ohare right now), I will see if I can get my webserver running, and you can then get gander at how I remedied the front rub as well. Front NEVER rubs and the fenders are still on. I think If I added 3" drop blocks in the rear, I wouldn't rub..but the rubbing hasn't bothered me yet. I may add 1/2" (on top of my 2") and work from there to see if I can minimize it...again, it's not bad at status quo.
