I actually check this stuff with a centered axle at ride height and the springs out, not a fork lift flex test... of course it won't hit that way. I don't need one BTW, but I could sell a ton of em if there's one out there that works and is strong enough. I'm willing to do the work to get it right..... are you?

Thanks Mudb8, I am kind of digging the highline with stock fenders now. This is most definately the route that I will be going, not sure if I'll get the tube fenders, or not.

Hiline tube fenders. Best of both worlds.

Not that I'm boasting, though I believe aside from the Aussie (DIY)- I was the first to move stock fenders up & chop the hood. Mine predates the 'Highline kits", homebrew was the only option. I did mine back in 06' & had already 'flatfendered' it. Granted it didn't turn out nearly as nice as those who followed, I really didn't have anyone's footsteps to follow in.

Homebrew 'Highline' Fenders - JeepsUnlimited.com Forums


A couple of poser shots:
Tera Lowers & Stock uppers with an OME 2"





Alas these were eventually destroyed as well, so . . .
I naturally followed suite when it came time to replace my fenders.
