Im running 245/75R16's they are the standard steel rims, and i have a 2inch lift put in as well. I have not completely flexed him up yet but was curious do i have to cut the guards for these tyres to clear when i do flex it up big time?

Cheers James.

Firstly i will cut the guards then i will flex it up safely as last time i flexed up a truck i ended up putting it on its side :p

You will get some rubbing on full flex if you don't trim some. It does not need to be much.

It depends a bit on the make of tyre ( some more aggressive mud tyres with big side lugs will be worse ).

You might need to adjust your front steering stops as well.

However none of this is a big deal.
