Thank for that. My 37s run the rear seam as well and I too need some trimming done.

I cut the same amount off for my 40's but then I took the piece I cut out and used it to trace a flat steel sheet and welded it over the opening so the foam isn't exposed. Now it looks factory
Welcome to Wayalife. I'm sure it looks clean, but I've had a hell of a time welding that area even with low heat. It just blows holes through the metal and that foam inside caught on fire on one side on me so I gave up.

Yes took some time.. used .23 mig to just spot every 1/4 inch all the way around then ground smooth with a flapdisc. I used jb weld steel stick as filler to sand smooth then bedlined it.

Here is the metal plate tacked into place before I started filling the edges and smoothing it out

Any fears welding with that filler foam back there? I thought about that option, but steered clear due to worrying about that foam catching fire. It does look good that way.

Yes, I had done quite a bit of trimming up front in the past, back when I was running 40" Mud Grapplers. I'll try to take a post up some pics of it today.

I'd appreciate that. I'm likely going to make the jump from 37s to 40s on my next set of tires, and my 37s are getting into the rear of the well already. I think you're running the same amount of lift as I am, so I was curious how you got 40s to stuff properly up front.
Okay - here's a shot of how much I trimmed up front. Note, I had to trim the EVO skin as well to make this work.

Compare the pic I posted up with what's on your Jeep for a more accurate comparison but this is about what was removed.
Yes, they clear 100% now.
Yes, running DTD with 12" coil overs up front and 8" in the rear on the EVO Lever. Because of how the kit is designed, I get a full 14" of vertical travel. Up front, I have about 3.5"-4" of up travel and in the rear, about 5" or so at a full bump.
