That is only 2" of wheel well gap! Topsy turvy is this hogs new name!

so I was thinking..
would I be better off ditching the body lift all together...
the new fenders will give me greater wheel openings and I’ve decided to not go larger than 35"s on this truck with current axles and suspension...


thoughts?

Only reason not to ditch...  If you are installing a tummy tuck.  It may make the fitment easier.

Well I didnt kill myself getting the jeep off the trailer







Rear axle out and off to SVE for ARB install..





Rear inner fenders and flares removed for TnT corner install...
kinda surprised at the lack of rust and rot.. a little scale and flake but not bad for close to a  25 year old vehicle..
everything unbolted even.. no cutting or cursing..
not going to go crazy with it.. just some sanding and POR for good measure..

I think I might have a couple hours in my hands tomorrow...

Might start clearing off the front fenders and possibly removal...

Made some mistakes with the rover painting before fitting...
not going to go through that again here..

stripped and got the front fenders off this morning...
awesome to work on something thats not rotted and everything just unbolts...
took about 90 min to remove all the acc. from the inner fenders and unbold the wings...





did some test fitting of the new front fenders and we have an issue..
the A to Z fab sliders extend way to far.. going to have to cut them down..
I want to see if I can use the bottom portion of the slider and just cut the horizontal section with a grinder or sawzall while still on the vehicle..  I have a feeling I will just be cutting off the complete excess flush with the body tub.
