How much to trim?

How much would I have to trim to fit 32s on 3 1/2 inches of lift ? I was thinking at least 2 inches in the front and then doing the fold over method in the rear which gets your what like an inch? What do yall think?
thanks,
Jake

I just trimmed the front up to the lip above the bolt holes, the same place where the rear will be when you cut and fold. And this is 32's on exactly 3" of lift.
