Hey Pete, put an old flogged-out set of 35's on with the 3" lift. Scream it up and down a couple of select tracks. Then you'll know exactly where to cut the guards. Just follow the folds.

Just find a decent plank set it on a good angle, and drive up it and check...

I would hate to see extensively modified then....
If you just guard chop you may have to modify bump stops to prevent the rears hitting the inner guard, possibly also the fronts.
If I remeber correctly the drivers side rear pulls across but this can be limited wioth adjustable panhards.
Too long since I had a GQ without bodylift....

I thought I seen more than one petegq and gqpete. But I guess this is hoon then.
And do GQ's come without body lifts do they.
Chop guards and make the bump stops slightly bigger.
Also guessing this is for GQ racing.

How big was the body lift?
What did you do with your gear stick and transfer base lever?
