Done. I followed your instructions and gained 1"-1.50" of clearance. You can't tell anything has been modified. The trim piece covers the bottom perfectly. This project was totally rad. Got a chance to clean up old weight sticker residue and also weigh my new wheels. They're 79lbs each. My old wheel setup was 103lbs each...I definitely notice the difference. The truck feels quicker off the line and braking distance is noticeably better.

Generally, the cutting you make to the plastic or metal would start at the front valance. Some vehicles, depending on style of the wheel well and how large you are going with wheels and tires would require metal trimming on the back side of the fender. So with 14" wide wheels, you will likely have to cut some metals to clear this very aggresisve setup.
