Default cut out fenders

i have a 05 f150 XLT i was wondering if anybody cut there fenders to fit larger tires. i have 37s on a 6 inch suspension lift in order for my tires not to rub i have to put 1.5 inch coil spacers in but when i hit the trail and wheel actually goes in the wheel well they rub like crazy. it is even possible to cut these out. i know bushwacker DOES NOT make the cut out for my truck

Yup, I had looked up bushwacker a while back for the cutouts but they skipped our trucks for some reason. I put aftermarket front fenders on and did some trimming on the rears. It still rubbed a little bit in the rear when turning on steep inclines but was a BIG improvement.

Have you thought about a 2" body lift? If you install it yourself it would be pretty cheap

well i got a three inch sitting in my garage i was gung ho about it when i was in iraq so i ordered it. then i was looking at pictures with trucks with body lifts and i dont like the look of it. the whole frame rails are exposed and it looks ugly plus i need bigger wheel wells anyways because once those tires are stuffed inside they will tear everything i have 37s on a 6 inch suspension lift by the way

It's really hard to cut fenders without proffesional skills and tools and have them not look like crap. Take it to a shop.

i found glassworks unlimited too they make good products so im told. i like to do a lot of trail riding in the woods and such how do you think a tree branch will hold up to the fiberglass do you think it will flex enough without breaking
