Im in the proccess of a full width swap on my 97 2 door xj. Im gonna be running 38.5" tsl's on about 6 inches of lift Does anybody have any detailed pics or tips on widening the rear wheel wells? Ive already cut and folded up to the seams. I just would like a little extra room. Thanks guys
 
I remember seeing an XJ build somewhere that had the rear half of the fenderwell moved back a few inches. From the inside, they cut the wheel tub in half, then removed the rear section, moved it back a fwe inches, then filled the gap with a rectanglular piece of sheet metal bent along the fender well. Doesnt gain any uptravel clearance though.
 
Brandon at rides did cut toward the door on his but I need some pictures of the process to really get a good idea how he did it.
