I have the exact same wheel/tire, lift and rub in the same places as you. Pretty cool I found this video. Doing the viper cut for the front fender rub as well. Great how to vid. Did you end up doing any trimming to the back of the front fenders? Cmc? Alignment tweak? Mine also rubs on the back of the driver side. Especially when reversing on turn.
This bumper cut is actually the only cutting I had to do. I very rarely rub on the cab mount at full lock, in reverse, if I hit a bump, but it doesn’t happen often enough for me to do anything about it lol
Thanks a bunch! To answer your question, if it’s not too late, or for any others reading this, it may feel very slightly loose, but only if you’re intentionally moving it. I would say far from flimsy or enough to flap
I actually just bent the edge trim the same way it would be bent when mounted, to see how sharp of a turn it would be able to make, then used that as the guide for the curve
I haven’t, just because the rubbing hasn’t really been bad enough for me. I more than likely would’ve had to do the cab mount chop by now if I had the -38 offset BR6s though
Thanks Brad! That part was essential to me to keep it looking nicer and easier to clean. I don’t have the link, but I show it at the 2:10 mark in the video. I got it from my local O’Reillys
Nice truck! I’m interested on a Bilstein lift also. Did you use your stock coil/spring? And did you do the top rung on the Bilstein 5100? How’s the ride quality?
vr812 thank you! Yes, I used the stock spring on the top setting on the shocks. It’s stiffer and I actually love it, just because I wasn’t too fond of the nose dive when braking.
Best one I’ve seen
orale que chingon te aventaste esos cortes carnal esta chida tu taco
3:10 I thought he put tape on his shorts as well to cut them off lmao
Man, that looks awesome! 👍
Much appreciated!
Looks really good pal!!!!
Ride looks sick bruh
You just need a higher lift and it will clear without cutting
Godd job bro, clean cut and inner fender job was smart!
Thanks for the video, you can use a heat gun to bend the fender liner more easy
I’ve seen a few that have done this, but I honestly wasn’t a fan of how wrinkled it looked
Why add clearance to the front only to lose clearance with the side steps?
The clearance is meant for the tires. I take the truck out a bit, but don’t exactly get extreme enough for the steps to matter much
Crazy ,but a simple cut made the front end looks so wide . Looks great 👍🏼
Looks amazing
Use à heat gun to reshape fender walls
I’ve seen a few done that way, and I don’t think I’d be able to shape them smooth enough for my liking. They start to look kinda mushy and warped
Great job. Looks super clean
Much appreciated my man!
Like that curved cut rather than going straight across to where it meets the bumper. Definitely going to incorporate that into my cut. Nice work dude!
Much appreciated! That combined with the trim piece really adds a more clean look
It looks like you did a really nice job! Good work man!
Wouldn't it be a nice feature to have a foldable bumper for off road.
Looks super clean man. Great job.
Samuel James thank you!🤘🏽
Looks great . Nice job on it.
Thank you!
Nice bro good job 🤙🏻
Thanks a bunch🙏🏽🤘🏽
What’s your Off set and your wheels
They’re stealth custom series BR6 in a 17x8.5 -10
Looks good! What dremel attachments did you use?
It was just a thin cutoff wheel
I wanna do mine but hella scared to cut it 😂
I know the feels! Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and send it😅
What size tires ?
285/70 17
are you gonna cover that hole you made?

Looks great! I’m getting ready to do this myself. QUESTION…do your black fenders flap or feel flimsy by cutting 2-3/4in above the bottom bolt?
Thanks a bunch! To answer your question, if it’s not too late, or for any others reading this, it may feel very slightly loose, but only if you’re intentionally moving it. I would say far from flimsy or enough to flap
What did you use the trace the curve on your tape?
I actually just bent the edge trim the same way it would be bent when mounted, to see how sharp of a turn it would be able to make, then used that as the guide for the curve
Looks great!
What kind of rim and tire is that?
SCS BR6 wheels with Falken Wildpeak AT3 tires!
have you done anything to mitigate the rubbing at the rear of the tire? I get rubbing on BR6's with a -38 offset
I haven’t, just because the rubbing hasn’t really been bad enough for me. I more than likely would’ve had to do the cab mount chop by now if I had the -38 offset BR6s though
That's called a scorpion cut!
I’ve seen scorpion cut, viper cut, and a couple other names. Figured I’d keep it simple with bumper cut lol
Sounds good!
Sick truck man. I just got my BR6 wheels! I love them. I have 285/75/R16. Still stock suspension, but ill be adding a new lift in a few days!
Thanks a bunch! That’s gonna look sweet for sure!
Good job bro looks clean.🙌🏻
Nicely done man. Looks great! Might have to steal that look for mine
SNLT 101 thanks bro! By all means man, go right ahead!
That’s clean!
Nice cut! What’s your offset? You have UCA’s? I’m looking into 285’s soon with a 17inch wheel too
Thanks a bunch! These are the 8.5s with a -10mm offset. I still have stock UCAs, just on bilstein 5100s with stock springs
Craig it looks great! Like how you didn’t cut the inner protective plastic underneath, but kept it. What trim would you recommend for the edges?
Thanks Brad! That part was essential to me to keep it looking nicer and easier to clean. I don’t have the link, but I show it at the 2:10 mark in the video. I got it from my local O’Reillys
I may or may not do this to mine just to hold off all the rubbing until I get my front bumper lol come do mine! You in GA lol
That was exactly my thought, knowing that it will probably be a good while before I get a bumper!
I’m a good bit away, in south TX lol
Nice truck! I’m interested on a Bilstein lift also. Did you use your stock coil/spring? And did you do the top rung on the Bilstein 5100? How’s the ride quality?

LOOKS HORRIBLE
This is as dumb as when people cut their fenders off their quads
🤨👎🏽
Stop hacking up your trucks. Lifts aren't that expensive.
