    well we will see tomorrow when i get them. may well need to cut / hammer / bend / flex / brake / cry my VX. ill do some before / during / after shots.

    thinking i might fit a bit of a body lift before cutting away the cladding. might be better in long run. an inch or so might do it.

    That's what I did when I fitted the 35" tires. Pros & Cons: less drivetrain stress less offroad clearance

    The "Surgery" to fit 35's sounds worse than it really is!

    Jons VX with Body lift, and mine with suspension lift both sit about
    the same height, and I do get better ground clearance...

    ...but we do all the same trails together in Moab.....

    ..so it works either way
