When I put on 33-inch tires with a -44 offset, I was pretty convinced I was going to have to do a body mount chop to make everything clear behind the front wheel because I was rubbing BAD! With that much poke, I figured there was no way around cutting into something. I started looking closer and thought I was about to get into a much bigger job than I wanted, but it turned out to be way simpler than expected. There was just a small cover in the wheel well that I had to remove, and once that was off, it exposed three bolts holding the body mount bracket in place. After pulling those bolts, the bracket came right off. What I thought was going to turn into cutting and fabrication ended up just being a much easier removal than I expected, and now I have full turning radius again!

Here's a link to the video of me doing the work!
