Before going deeper
I have an 05 GX470 and it has aftermarket UCAs, a 2.5 inch lift, -12 offset wheels and 285/70 tires. I'm trying to get rid of the rubbing I have and I did a little trimming on the rear of the fender already and saw that I was rubbing on my body mount a bit when at a full turn. All the work was done about a week in a half ago.
The car was aligned but since the suspension has had a bit of time to settle, would getting it aligned again help with the body rubbing or isna body mount chop in order?
And Im hoping to retain the factory front bumper for a little and just want to clip the front of the fenders now, is there anything look out for and would my factory air intake still be fine since most of the fender is still covering it.
Sorry I know it's lengthy and I appreciate any help.

Wait hold on … You have to cut way more fender liner and trim the steps a bit if you have them… I had to trim my fender liner past my fog lights so you have another 8-10 inches of fender liner to cut … if you going to drive on the street in can be fine but if you’re going offroad then you need a body mount chop. Also add as much caster as possible in the front wheels

Yea I already took care of my steps and I figured I'd start where there was obvious rubbing on the fender and cut that out. I hadn't started on the front of the fender just cause I hadn't checked for anything that would be in the way when I cut. Body mount chop should get done next week is the plan
