Hey blkngld, are you sure this is a 3" coil lift and not just a 2" spacer lift? I've been calling around to see who's got 3" Full Traction lifts in stock and pretty much everyone has been telling me that they haven't even shipped out from Full Traction yet. Now, if this is just a 2" Econo lift (coil spacers), that would explain a lot as to why your 35's are sitting so close to your rock rails. Granted, I would still hack them even if I were sitting taller.

Seems easy to just cut the rails shorter and recap them.

Actually, you would need to trim that piece of the body that sticks down as well but that's probably the easiest part of the whole job

How about some post-trim pictures?!?!

I bought a new cutting wheel at Sears yesterday to trim the rails on my JK when it arrives. I agree they stick a little too far into the wheelwell.
