i just picked up an 80

[marvin]

i have had a 78 that i have been working on for a restore i want it to look new when i get done so i picked up a 80 for 550 nothing wrong with it just needs a driverside fender the guy had no idea what he had it has 80k on it . i got it for wheeling and working out if some i work for a surveying co. and the truck i drive is 2 wheel so i use mine often and now getting to the point i want to put 33's on it and i know i need a lift to clear them but i'm wondering if i can trim the fenders and clear them this does not have to look good i was thinking trim them back and some flares ?? what do you guys think

My friend has 33's on a stock 93 Eddie Bauer, but it sees very little 4 wheel action. Mostly beach if any. Fender trimming will work, but a 4" is the way to go!

I run 33's and all i have is 1" body lift and i clear fine and it sees moderate 4x4 action.
