Hey Guys,

So I have been researching this site for the last few months and it has answered most of my questions, plus giving me plenty of ideas. Quick intro - - Picked up a 2009 f150 in October 2017. It was within my price range (never knew before my purchase how expensive full size pick up trucks were and how they hold there value) - either way truck had 93000 miles 4x4 tow package lariat with K&N filter and dual flowmaster exhaust. Since then added some LED head lights and tail lights. Pick up some 20inch fuel mavericks and have brand new 35's to slap on. This Friday getting getting the truck lifted - "6 Inch Rough country lift" - I know that with my wheels and tires its gonna rub - -44 offset 12.5 wide 20inch - I want to do the trimming myself but need to know whats the best tool to use to get the job done? Any help is appreciated! few pics of my truck and new add ons!




Thanks

Thanks man - I have a dremel here. did you have alot of trimming to do? With my research i seen that 35's on a 12 inch wide will always rub slightly at full turn. Looks like cutting the plastic in the fender liner and on the lower plastic part of the front bumper. Did you cut that part? front bumper? or just removed it all together?

Sorry for all the questions just figured I could do it myself that spend more on the shop doing it.. I'm spending enough damn money for the install as it is!! -

I don't have nearly for size tires that you do but when I added my 275 65 18s I had to trim a little bit of the inner fender well along with a portion of the mud flap

Yep. And I had to trim. They rubbed when I was turning and hitting a bump
