Just be aware, it took some serious cutting to fit those 34s.

Yes, be aware. Although my rears fenders are cut, those 34s would actually clear them before they were cut. I cut them to remove the rust, mostly, but i also like fender arches that match the tire size. The front fenders are aftermarket fiberglass, obviously, and that's why the front clears. My new front suspension is offset and flexed so high, that it was able to put the wheel into the top of the old fender even after i cut it for more clearance. The pic at the bottom is the original fender after it was heavily chopped.

Dakotaff is right, it was still a lot of work to go with big tires, even though its not that lifted. You could do it without cutting, but you would have to swap the fronts fenders, level it, offset wheels and roll with no fender liners! Still butchered. For all that work, cut it too and make it fit 35s.
