Default Cutting this off or leave it?
Like the title says. I have 35's on my jeep on a 3.5 lift and on the back tires you see what is in the pic's. I feel like the tires rub here a lot and I don't know what to do. What has everyone else done?

You need to cut the pinch seams. You might even want to cut the rock rail as well

When in doubt cut it out! All kidding aside cut that pinch seam it'll make you a whole lot happier! And relatively easy to do!

Default Trim it
I trimmed the seam on mine. It was a really easy mod to protect the tires. Get some JB weld to fill in the hole and you'll be set. It took me about an hour to do the whole mod.

The JB weld is a great idea I used black gasket maker which worked good but love the idea of JB weld!
