I was expeciting the 12 wheel to stick out more but I guess I'll just have to deal with it. My favorite thing about my truck was the offset that the adapters gave me. That F150 is bad *** I love the 22x14.

Oh and Jake I trimmed all of that on my truck. If you want to see a pic of what I did that keeps it looking clean I'll get one for you. The only difference is my fender flares cover the parts I cut.

I bet those things were the biggest pita to mount up. I was told when I got mine done that mud graps are a pain. I can only imagine how hard it is to get them to stretch like that.
Jake, I'll try and get a better shot for you tomorrow. These were the pics I sent nfab. Its hard to tell from this angle but the fender flare is trimmed and I also cut the bottom of the actual wheel well fender. I also trimmed a bit of the metal behind the fender flare. I hate to say it but I think your nfabs will be a little long for cutouts and you may have to trim them down like I did.

This was all trimmed for my previous lift kit when I just ran the 3.5" spindles and 2" spacers. I have plenty of clearance now with the 7.5.

i think i see it.

i was considering clearancing the part thats under the truck on the flare for the steps rather than cutting the steps. but im thinking about hammering down the pinch weld behind the liner like i would be doing anyway with the flares and ziptying the liner back some more to see how that goes. last times it just wore the zipeties down also haha

it really just sounds horrible and its loud

Have you noticed any slits in your tires? I went a little crazy with the trimming but you don't even notice it. I can say I have all the clearance in the world now lol. For some reason now I just rub on the front fender which I didn't before. With the new rims though I'm sure I will be able to go full lock without rub.

slits no. i do have a part of on of the lugs missing on that tire but idk when that happened. if it blows or its a defect i get a new one for like 39 bucks.

i think the flares will look good but im just not 100% on keeping them really just yet

I've thought about cutouts for mine but I just don't think they will work with the nfabs.
