I did the opposite for trimming my fenders...Keep in mind though I have 35"x12.50"x15" with both a body lift
and the Rancho kit. I did crank up the torsion bars as well as swap out the rear 2" leaf blocks that Rancho
supplies for 3" blocks I picked up for $25.

I think you have a gen III, right Mike? I e'mailed Performance West
inquiring about their Dakarta and here's the reply:
We used Rancho shocks and adjusted the torsion bars the elevate the
front.
The wheels are Alcoa 16" x 8"
The tires are Continental General 33 /12.50 / 15
We did trim the lower part of front bumper cover slightly for tire
clearance, but not trim the rear fenders at all.
Sincerely,
Performance West
If this can be done, it almost eliminates the need for any type of lift at
all whatsoever. Three inches of lift does look pretty sweet though.
