The lines where you trimmed look really good. I need to trim mine and put it back on. I wish I had access to a water jet though!
A band saw and an angle grinder would work also. Then use some 320 grit to knock off any burrs. I just followed the lines that were already on there.

I really like your tires. I'm getting the same size on mine next week. Did you have to trim at all? Was your speedo off at all?

Thanks man. I didn't end up having to do any trimming. They did rub some with only a 2"/1" level but after adding the Bilsteins and Moog springs I don't have any rub. The Duratracs have lugs on the sidewall that do rub the sway bar at full lock though.

With a 3/2 I should be fine then. I just wanted to fill up the fender wells without spending 1200 on tires. 275-60-20 is standard on dodge rams so the tires are fairly inexpensive. I'll post pic when I get them on. It should at another inch to the lift so that's an added bonus [emoji1303]

Are you 2wd? What fender heights did you get with the 3/2?
Mine are 39.25"F/40.5"R right now but I'm pretty much maxed out on the front angles for 4wd.

I wish we had round fenderwells like the Ford and Dodge trucks. They can fit 35's with just a level.

4WD. Sitting at 40" all the way around. My front is definitely maxed out. The shop couldn't get a perfect alignment because they ran out of adjustment. With the new tires it will be 41.5". That's plenty for me. I just think it look goofy with very little side wall. I didn't want to go smaller on my rim size.

Damn that is definitely maxed out. You should look at a set of the Rough Country UCA's. I'm about to buy a set of them. I can imagine those angles are pretty bad.

They run about 290 for the set? I definitely want to order some. My list of things I want is just getting longer and longer. Lol

Haha yea I don't even want to think about how much money I have in this Tahoe already. The list always gets longer once you catch the Mod bug though.
