So I moved up to 37" MTRKs. What's needed trimming wise in order to run these on the trail?
I'm going to trim the pinch seem some more along with my rock sliders.
How about the rear bumper near the tire? I've seen a few rigs do it but didn't know if it's necessary

The pinch seam and rock rails definitely. Fenders won't hurt but depend on how big your bump stops are. I don't think you should have to trim your bumper. Best way to tell is put it up on a ramp or forklift and see what rubs.

I trimmed my rear pinch seams in the rear fender well to clear my MTR's as well. I was also rubbing my trimmed rubi rails on the drive home from discount tire after having them mounted. I have since taken another 1.5" off the pinch seam and rails.
