No pictures of it before being installed. I'll try to snap one or two when I get a chance.

So after more cutting of fenders, increasing the size of my bumpstops my tires still rub in the front. The rear seems to be just find with out any additional cutting or bumpstopping. My question is can I BB the front an inch or two to gain some additional clearance.  Would this make the Jeep noticeably unlevel?  Or have any other issues? 

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Does the Jeep sit level now?

Have you considered trimming another 1" or 2" ?

I don't wheel spacers would help here, the pinch seam my tires are rubbing on are inside the wheelwell. So by pusing the wheels out it would just rub/cut a different part of the tire. 

There are some pinch seams that would have to be cut. From what I've researched if I cut those too much it would compromise the strength of the unibody. I think the pinch seam could be welded if it is cut. Does anyone have any advice on this. 

The jeep currently sits pretty level.   

Thanks guys!
