    Ya I had them put on to see how much tires stuck out of the wheel well with AR's I have. Lol no way it would work unless I was only going in a straight line

    So ya lift required just didnt know how squirrely it felt driving that high up. I feel like I am floating...

    Sawzall'd the hell out of mine. Not the prettiest job but you cant see it and it isnt obviously noticeable.

    That is exactly what I was originally thinking when I wanted to get a lift and bigger tires. I can't wait to see what it looks like! Hurry up!!!!!

    I didnt see anywhere, where you mentioned whether you were lifted or not (or I am simply blind). With a 9" wheel and no lift, I am VERY curious to see just how much you will be cutting. I have 18x8.5's on 285/60's with no lift and my cutting was (and still needs to be since I have a new front clip now) considerable. Whatever you do, dress it up well after you cut. I found a good metal file did a good job at really flushing it all out.
