Trim here for full lock.

Attachment 159200

Check here for rub



Attachment 159205

Mine were a good fit, I don't have to trim the front valance at all. I only nipped off the fender flare pictured above.

That is exactly where I trimmed as well. The plastic on the fender well. Mine looks the same. You just have to make sure it doesnt rub that nut that is holding the plastic fender wheel well in. (didnt mean for that to sound dirty).

Those tires look great man!!

Lol! Thanks man!

I agree with you on the spacers. It's the big thick spacers that cause some issues.

Put a block of wood or a piece of a 2x4 on top of your jack. I need to use 2 2x4 blocks with the smaller jacks...
