Looking at the trimming I will need to do to get 37s under my bronco with 3.5" suspension and 2" body lift (NOT full width axles). While I have no problem cutting the fender flares out bigger, I am wondering about the inner fenders/wheel wells..

Who on here has this setup? What/How much behind the fenders did you have to cut? Do you rub?
Pictures would be helpful too.

Thanks!

I have 4" suspension and 3" body lift with 37s and there is enough room. If you would like some specific measurements, let me know.

I have a 3.5 susp. and a 3" body lift and run 36's with plenty of room. So 37's should fit fine.

I have 37s on 3.5 lift and 2 inch body lift. Can't remember my wheel backspacing so I run 1.25 in wheel spacers. They only rub (front) at full lock. Rears were cut more at the front end and flares lengthened about 3 in. No rubbing in the back at all.

Thanks guys.. so sounds like I can make this work. I dont mind a little rubbing in the wells, I just dont want to dick up these tires... they cost WAY too much to trash when flexing.

Timstrk - do they rub when suspension is stuffed?

Tall progressive poly bump stops can help with that.
You may already have them depending on what SL kit you used.
I was surprised how softly they end your suspension travel.

I have a similar set up and had to remove some material and bend some back with a bfh in the rear wheel wells. My tires are 12.5 in wide.
