First I cut my slider and put the end cap back on and made a line on the pinch seam where I wanted to make the bend:


I first made the bend with my adjustable wrench:


I then got out the BFH and used it until it was level with the slider:


Painted:

Nice write up...I need to this soon before the 37s go on. I might just do the BFH technique since I dont have a dremmel or cutting wheel.

Great write up's guys!

Thank you for the information & pics!

Great mod!!! Easy to do, my only advice is use a band saw to cut the slider.... Less heat means less paint damage and minimal touch up

I used a sawzall to cut both the rock rail (after removing it) and the pinch seam. I really didn't want to go past the spot welds so I only took off about 1/4".

Cut rock rail and pinch seam:



Stuffed to the max before cutting:



Stuffed even more after cutting:



There's not much room but it doesn't touch. The tire was about as stuffed as it can get. We'll see what happens on the trail with lower tire pressures.

just what I was looking for ...awesome!
I like the BFH method write-up as well

That would be too close for my comfort. You'll have to let us know how that turns out for you.

great write up thanks

did you have to take off the wheel to do this? or can you do it with the vehicle on the ground?

I put the rear on jack stands and removed the two rear tires, it only took me a min and gave me a bunch more room.
