Nice looking rig! I'd say if you don't have any rubbing issue, leave it as it is... :yup:

Agreed. Jeep looks great and if you don't have any issues, there's nothing wrong with leaving things as is. Sure, I run trimmed fenders but only because I needed the extra room to run bigger tires and still keep my stance low.

If it were me and there were no rubbing issues, I would leave it as is. It looks great. If you chop the fenders, your opening up a lot of wheel well and will probably want bigger tires to fill them again.

There are quite a few threads about cutting the stock flairs to make them flat so you may want to look at that. No need to spend $$. I personally like the look of the stock fender with the larger tires so unless you need to trim because of rubbing I would leave them be.

no problems with rubbing at all, a friend of mine cut his and the fronts seem to rattle a bit

I'd leave me alone. Only reason I chopped mine is the same reason Eddy mentioned.

One of the better looking 2 doors I've seen. Keep the stock fenders.

Very cool looking rig! I think your flares look great the way they are. However, if you're worried about cutting up your only set of flares then I would suggest shopping around here for a used set of just the outers. People sell them all the time for very reasonable prices. You could chop those up and mount them and if you aren't satisfied with the look you can always re-install your uncut flares. I've been mulling over the same exact same question in my head recently. I love the look of everyone's cut up factory flares but just can't seem to visualize how my rig would look with them cut.

I'd appreciate anyone's opinion on my setup too! To chop, or not to chop? That is the question.

Leave it. Looks good. I'd only cut or go flat in the case of 37s.

I just chopped my stock flares and love the more aggressive look it has now.

looks good as is. If you want to think your tires are a lot smaller, then go flats lol. Thats what happened to me, but i needed the clearance of flats.
