Has anyone done any more metal trimming than just the tab? As in maybe part of the pinch weld, maybe going back as far as one of those bolts at the bottom. On my 4th gen 2500 I did some pinch weld trimming for 37s. So was just wanting to see if anyone has done more than just the tab.....
I have RC 3.5 lift, and am about to put on TRX wheels and 305/70R18 Yokahoma Geolander MTs (basically almost the same size as the factory TRX tires. I have seen most of the threads from people installing the TRX wheels/tires on with 1.5" spacers and it seems to be fine with the normal tab mod that this thread is mostly about. However, I have 2" spacers right now with current setup. I know maybe one person did it with 2" , but anyways, i just wanted to know incase i need to trim back the pinch weld too.
Yes, I had to trim back to the first bolt. The 37s still rub a bit, -44 offset.
Man... that looks really good!Clears 100%
You are the MAN... own you some beers!!

Hopefully not to bad..This would have been a nice thread to see before I massacred my inner fender liners.
I hacked my fender liners up today before seeing this thread. Guess I get to buy new ones.Hopefully not to bad..
Months late, but I’m waiting to see pics of the bend up method.
Already cut my wannabe flares off in irder to maintain the rocker corner “protector”. Still getting very minor run backing up into my sloped driveway at full lock.

That procedure is for cutting off the metal tab, not bending it up. I want to see the bend.The procedure is detailed with pics at the beginning of this thread

No problem! Someone else asked for pics of it but no one posted any.It’s pretty thin metal …. I just straightened it out with pliers, and then bent it straight up …. Drilled a new hole for the liner, just below the old one …. It’s super easy …. You’re just bending instead of cutting …. I thought somewhere in these 89 pages, somebody detailed bending …. Been a couple years since I did mine …. Hadn’t been back here in a while …. Good luck …. Sorry, I didn’t take any picks

What offset is this?Thank you for this write up. I had the 285/60/20 tires removed and put 35/12.5/20 Falken Wildpeaks on today and they rubbed fairly hard on the drivers side. Took me maybe an hour to do it. I had to remove the mopar mudflaps from the front but now have plenty of room for the flat style duraflaps that should be showing up in the mail tomorrow. Truck is a 2020 limited ORP with the links and daystars up front. Love the look.
