in the front i trimmed the holes off at the first lip so theres still that tiny lip on it, so maybe 1.5" and in the back the holes where the fender bolted to the top of those holes so maybe 1".

Yeah the only issue is if you cut too deep in the rear the inner and outer fender could seperate thats why alot of people do the cut and fold... I did the cut and fold on the rear of mine but I am now in the process of cutting and making a new inner fender

Looks good man. I did mine today too. You're lucky... the darker color hides any blemishes

With 3" of lift you won't have to trim the fenders for 31's.
