I want BIG tires again, and I am willing to cut what ever it takes to fit them. I am not worried about axle strength because the LuckyRover is getting dana 60's front and rear. But I want to keep it as low as possible, what I want to know is how much you can cut out of the rear fenders? How far into the door can you cut? |

Im working on fitting 36 inch on my classic. I cut fenders and installed Dap flares. Used 3 inch springs and 1 inch spacers. Going to go with four inch springs soon. |

Jon - your Rover looks good. I really like "Strange Rovers" set up. The flex he gets is incredible. If only I had alot of money to devote to my rover... |

they are sometimes, you gotta get lucky for that though- but they are so long anyway, that you can just cut one side down and it will ofset them to just about the right length. you gonna do a disk conversion too? |
