This week I had an OME Medium Duty suspension lift installed on my 2004 Discovery II. After that was done, I had a set of BFG 275/65/18s installed. Now I'm getting some rubbing when I'm at full lock on the front end.
This was not exactly a surprise. Instead of taking it back to The Shop to get the fender trimmed, I'd rather just do it myself. I did a little research, but all the forum posts on fender trimming sort of take it for granted that the reader actually knows how to do that
I'm a network engineer, and not very familiar with doing anything to my truck other than electrical work. What better time than now to start though?
My question to the forum: What tools and processes do you need to trim the front fenders/bumper to clear a larger tire do you actually need? Luke at the shop mentioned getting a Dremel tool, cutting it away, and then sanding it down. Is that all there is to it?
If anyone has a link to a good how-to article with pics, that would be even better.
Thanks again! This forum is a great resource.
