F150 valence trimming

[TOBTEK]

had the Supercrew lifted using a RCD sysp kit, put 315x?x16 tires. now the tires are grinding on the front valence.
question......have you trimmed this valence, and how much do I need to cut away?

[mbrown2]

The guy that did mine had to cut away about two inches...I will try and find a pic that might show it...I now have the PIAA valance and had to cut that too.

The guys at ORW were saying to "cut off the tri-angle"? I dont want to jack up the valence.....ya know

Tob,
Are you talking about the piece on the front bumper or the rear portion of the wheel well??

You have to eliminate the triangle, so that is just blends with the natural lines of the valance...at the bottom this equates to close to inches...I also had to trim the back fenders behind the wheel. When towing and hitting bumps, and would rub there.

the nice thing about having a white, lifted supercrew with billet wheels is that you never see anyone with a simular truck :rolleyes:
