As tire size and suspension travel increase, the factory plastic inner fenders quickly become a limitation.
The Motobilt MB1243 High Clearance Front Inner Fenders for the Jeep JL, JLU, and JT replace the factory plastic liners with a high-clearance aluminum system that creates additional room for larger tires and suspension up travel while still protecting the engine bay from mud, rocks, and debris.
Each panel is laser cut and CNC formed from lightweight aluminum to follow the contours of the Jeep engine bay. The raised design creates additional room for tire up travel while maintaining a clean finished appearance inside the wheel well.
The MB1243 version is designed for factory style suspension systems, including the Jeep Gladiator Mojave factory shock package, allowing builders to gain additional clearance without requiring a coilover conversion.
Because different suspension setups require different clearances, Motobilt offers multiple variations of this inner fender system so builders can choose the version that best fits their suspension configuration.

1. Do I need high clearance inner fenders to run 40 inch tires on a Jeep JL or JT?
Most Jeep JL and JT builds running 40 inch tires will require additional wheel well clearance. Factory inner fenders were designed around smaller tire sizes and limited suspension travel. High clearance inner fenders help create the room needed for larger tires and increased suspension movement.
2. Will these inner fenders work with Mojave shocks?
Yes. the MB1243 were specifically designed to fit the factory suspension and shocks including the Mojave model JT.
3. Do these replace the factory inner fenders completely?
Yes. The Motobilt high clearance inner fenders replace the factory plastic inner fender liners. The new panels provide more tire clearance while still protecting engine bay components from debris coming off the tires.
4. Do these inner fenders require trimming or modifications to install?
They do NOT require trimming but Jeep builds running large tires, can choose to trim the bottom section of the fender and move it back 1.82"s as shown in the instructions but this is NOT mandatory.
