An important thing to note here .

Look at ep67pro's green bronco (3.5sl + 1 bl 33x12.5)

compare to 70EB's Sunset Orange Metallic Bronco ( same lift but 35's )

The thing that took me a long time to catch and it really changes the look of the Bronco is the height of the cut for the flares. Use the body line for a reference.
What I see are 35's that are not stuffing the wheel compared to the 33's , even though the trucks have the same lifts. I would imagine 70EB's bronco would not look quite right if had 33's on it , to my eye anyways , other guys love that look.

Here is the same truck right after I had it painted with 33 MTRs on 15x10 steel wheels. Same lift. Same position of the flares. Just for comparison.

I have no body lift and about a 3.5" suspension lift. I did cut out my fender wells higher than normal though. Yellow photo is old and the blue is about 2 weeks old. I have 35" tires, and before I raised my flares higher, which required cutting more fender, my original fiberglass flares were broken about half their width. Also, and this is more pressing than broken flares, the inner seam where the front wheel wells are tack welded to the inner 1/4 panel, that edge almost lacerated all the way through my BFG Mud tire. So, with my suspension set up it is very important to hammer those edges over.

2.5" + 1"BL makes these 33's look small . . . heck maybe that shot was with 31"s? (15" wheels)
