I used an angle grinder and ground it smooth with the wall! I used my welder to put a bead down where the pinch weld comes together to keep it from separating and to cover the sharp edges! It gives you about a quarter of an inch more haha

Here are some pics. Bending the lower part out makes it easier to bend the inner bracket. U need to beat it in pretty good. Sometimes u even need to readjust the doors ( lower hinge) after hammering it all in just a little. The way u see it fits nicely under the glassworks inner fender wells

Trimming for 37s?

I recently bought glassworks fenders as well as toyo 37x13.5x17s and method nv 17x8.5s for my 2013 raptor. I plan on going to the top perch but can anyone help with the trimming? If anyone has pictures or advice on how to trim or could point me to a thread that has this information that would be great.
Thanks

You don't trim with fenders, not the fronts anyways. Top perch is bad for 4wd and it's not needed with the fenders anyways.
