Default front valance with 4/7

I left mine on and I know a lot of people just go ahead and take them off with a 4" drop or lower in the front. I don't really like the way they look without them and have been wondering if anybody has trimmed or cut their's in half for a little more clearance? It doesn't rub or scrap all that often...just think it would be a good meduim between with and without it.

How did you cut it? I was thinking about taping it off and maybe a cut off wheel?

mark your cut line with a greese pencil. Then score it along the line with a sharp blade until it is through. It looks alot cleaner than cutting with a wheel.

I left mine on. I think it makes it look a little lower with it on. It scrapes here and there but nothing major. I even have another one that my friend took off his lifted truck. So when it gets looking bad I'll just change them out.

Meh. I wouldn't even bother changing it out. It just a little scrap here and there. Not gonna hurt anything.
