My order didn't go through, sadly. But trying to get the juices flowing here. Yea or nay?

Only managed to change the oil, put on my old wheel spacers, take the doors off and discover a leaking axle seal up front. One year old and already leaking.

Does anybody have pictures of 35" tires, flat fenders and 2" bump stops at full stuff? Just trying to see if I'm going to trim some metal or if it's close?

I don't have flat fenders, but I am running 2" bump stops and 35s. The only place I rub is the rear fender liners when I am at full stuff. That includes front wheels being turned to full lock. I can get some pics off of my phone later today if you want.

Cool, I would like 1.5" bump stops, but they don't exist for purchase. I thought about making some, but I don't have a chop saw to get clean cuts on the flat steel. Then I thought about cutting board material. I can find 2" for sale.
I'm trying to use evo rock stars and factory shocks with a small budget boost. I think I'm going to lose a ½" of travel in the end over factory with 2" bump stops.

I was going to trim the fenders a few weeks back, but my wife said to wait. She tried telling me she would rather have poison spider. I talked her out of them and we settled on mce. I didn't trust myself trying to cut them in that style. I also like these because they have a lip for reusing the inner splash guard. Also came with lights.
Hopefully I can get them on today if it stops raining.

I do like those fenders. They will be my fall back if I screw up my fender chop. :yup:

I'll give a little review on these. Over priced for what they are. They should be in the 400 dollar range.
Installing them wasn't too bad. The fronts fit perfectly. The rear took some clamps to get them perfect. No nutserts, that's a plus. They use self tapping sheet metal screws instead. They are actually solid, yet flexible. The front uses a landing pad with a slight preload. Really nice to have dark black fenders to. They say they are uv stable, time will tell. Plus a lifetime warranty if they rip or crack off.
I like that they have a lip that holds in the inner splash guard and hides that goofy gap. Measure 3 times and cut once, or cut extra and trim the excess.
They also come with led lights for the side makers. That was nice.
I still recommend trimming your factory fenders, but if you have extra money knock yourself out. I wanted to trim the factory ones in this style, but didn't want to try. I may but some for my dozer. Someday...
