Moving right along

Cutting up perfectly good sheetmetal

All cut out

It looks like alot and the wheel isnt really centered in the cut portion ,but I plan on moving the axle forward a couple of inches to get the tire away from the cab. Ill also be ditching the body lift ,the only reason I used it was clearance issues between my cab and transfer case. After that the tire aught to sit nicely in the fender.

Everything all put back together ,roughly I cut about 18" out of the front. It turned out quite nicely, better than I expected anyways.

The pile of leftover sheetmetal
