I did. And yes you should.

Happy trimming!

Yes Sr. Louie. You can see my mini-write up on the what was done to your rig this week. Hahaha. It's a must-do when running 35's with rubi rails.

Oh and chop that pinch seam too.

depends on what lift you have with my lift (3.5" RK x-factor) the adjustable control arms move the rear axle back a bit and sitting on flat ground my rubi rails are close like yours but even at full stuff in the rear i dont rub on them at all

Damn! Yours are way closer then mine. Trim those before the next run!

Unbolt the rails, and whatever you made those clean cuts on the rails with will probably work on the pinch seams too. If you have a reciprocating saw/sawz-all, that's the tool that 99% of the people who trimmed their pinch seams used :thumb:

Got a set of ramps or a hi-lift jack? How heavy is the jeep? Haha! You got me there :doh:

paychex.308 · May 5, 2013

well hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, maybe a table saw is not the best tool to tackle a pinch seam dilemma...??? question - how does one have a table saw and not a saw-zall???

You mean I was supposed to remove those rails. Crap. I cut right thru them. LOL. Then replaced them with real ones.

Trim maybe?
