When running 40 inch or larger tires on a Jeep JL, JLU, or JT, the limiting factor is not always the suspension. The factory inner fender and outer flare become the restriction. As suspension compresses, the tire contacts the underside of the fender before full up travel is achieved.
This becomes more noticeable on builds running long travel suspension systems where the suspension is capable of more movement than the body allows. The result is lost up travel, tire interference, and the need to limit suspension performance to avoid contact.
The Motobilt Hatchet high line front fender flares are designed to solve this by raising the upper section of the fender. By moving the fender line higher, additional clearance is created for larger tires and increased suspension compression without interference.
These fenders are built from steel plate and designed to match the JL, JLU, and JT body lines while providing additional clearance. The raised profile is based on a modified Rubicon flare height but extended further to support tire sizes up to 43 inches.
Clearance for factory hood latches is maintained, allowing the fenders to integrate cleanly with the existing hood design without additional modification.
This system is designed for builders pushing suspension travel and tire size beyond factory limits. It allows the suspension to use its full range of motion without the body becoming the limiting factor.

What does a high line fender do on a Jeep JL or JT?
A high line fender raises the upper fender height 3"s, allowing more room for larger tires and increased suspension up travel without tire contact.
Do I need high line fenders for 40 + inch tires?
In most cases, yes. Factory fenders limit up travel with larger tires. High line fenders create the clearance needed to use the suspension fully.
Will these work with stock suspension?
They will fit, but the main benefit is seen on builds with increased suspension travel and larger tires.
Do these require cutting or modification?
Some trimming or adjustment may be required depending on the build and tire size.
Will these interfere with factory hood latches?
No. These are designed to maintain clearance for factory hood latch locations.
