Found a deal on some cooper's that I couldn't pass up so I ordered them and my 2.5/1 leveling kit

Then as I am waiting for them to arrive, a buddy of mine decides he does not like his bfg ko2 and wants to sell them for cheap.

So I went ahead and bought them to see how they would look. Pretty happy overall. Other than the front sitting about a half inch taller than the rear. Can't decide if I want to swap out the spacer or not though.

Tires are 275 70 18 and do a fair amount of rubbing on the liner and the corner of the wing. Some trimming should clear that up though.

Can you take pics of where it is rubbing? Those 70's are a good half inch taller than the 65's

I didnt think to take any before i did some trimming and molding with a heat gun. Basically i cut the brace behind the bottom trim piece just like zedz71 had outlined in his thread and then zip tied the liner back some to give more clearance.

In my bottom pic, you can see the head of a screw that is holding the liner to the bottom trim piece. This is on the drivers side. I rubbed exactly where that screw was and in about 3 inches on the liner. I also rubbed the bottom of that trim piece, so i had to trim it back at the bottom corner.

Also on the driver side, i did not want to trim the brace so much that it would not bolt back up at the corner of the bumper/liner/trim piece. Unfortunately, i rubbed the brace in that spot. So I used a heat gun to form it back a little bit. I'll have to get some pics when i can.

Drivers side. It really doesn't look this bad in person, but I do need to clean it up a bit. Noticed I cut some of the liner, the brace now forms an upside down "u", and I trimmed some of the trim piece at the bottom
