Savvy Offroad High Clearance Aluminum Front Inner Fender Kit | 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL / JLU & 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT

Every other high-clearance aluminum inner fender kit on the market makes you choose solid panels for protection or vented panels for airflow often as separate products at separate prices. The Savvy Offroad High Clearance Aluminum Front Inner Fender Kit includes both solid and vented panels in one kit. Run solid panels when you need maximum engine bay protection from rocks, mud, and trail debris. Swap to vented panels when you need airflow and heat dissipation on hard-running builds. One kit, two configurations, zero compromises.

Built from 16-gauge CNC laser-cut aluminum and precision CAD-designed for the 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL, JLU, and 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT, these inner fenders replace your factory plastic liners with a high-clearance aluminum system engineered for 40"+ tires, coilover conversions, reservoir shocks, and any build that has outgrown what the stock wheel well can offer. Minimal trimming required to bolt them on optional 1.82" cutback available for maximum clearance on the most aggressive setups.

The Feature No Competitor Includes: Both Panels in One Kit

Savvy includes both. One purchase covers both configurations. Swap panels as your build evolves, as conditions change, or as your engine bay temperatures demand. This is the only inner fender kit on the market that gives you that flexibility out of the box.

Key Features

• Dual Panel Options, Both Included: Solid panels provide maximum engine bay coverage and protection from rocks, mud, and debris. Vented panels maximize airflow and heat dissipation for hard-running builds or desert environments. Both sets are included. No additional purchase required for either configuration.
• 40"+ Tire Clearance: Engineered for any Jeep but these were also designed specifically for Jeep JL, JLU, and JT builds running 40-inch and larger tires. The high-clearance geometry prevents tire contact at full compression and full lock where factory plastic liners become a limitation. No trimming required for bolt-on installation optional 1.82" cutback recommended for maximum clearance on the most aggressive setups.
• Modular & Trimmable Design: The two-piece modular panel design allows targeted trimming for aftermarket coilover conversions, remote reservoir shocks, or custom suspension components without replacing the entire liner. Trim where you need clearance, leave the rest intact.
• 16-Gauge CNC Laser-Cut Aluminum: Lightweight yet structurally sound. Replaces heavy, brittle factory plastic liners with a precision-cut aluminum panel that won't crack, warp, or collapse under trail abuse. CAD-designed for exact fitment on JL, JLU, and JT models including Gas, Diesel, and 392 variants (392 and Diesel require washer tank relocation sold separately).
• Superior Engine Bay Protection: Whether you are running solid or vented panels, the high-clearance aluminum construction provides a meaningful barrier between your engine bay components and the rocks, mud, and debris that a factory plastic liner was never designed to stop.
• Easy DIY Installation: All necessary mounting hardware included. Minimal trimming along with drilling holes for riv nuts. Optional 1.82" cutback for maximum clearance on aggressive big-tire builds. SEE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
• Ships Raw Aluminum: Powder coat or paint to match your build. Raw aluminum can also be prepped with Scotch-Brite and left natural. Note: some mill finish blemishes and scratches may be present on raw aluminum panels this is normal and does not affect fitment or performance.

Who Needs High Clearance Inner Fenders?

The factory plastic inner fenders on the JL, JLU, and JT were designed around 33–35 inch tires and stock suspension travel. The moment you push beyond that bigger tires, lifted suspension, coilover conversions the factory liner becomes the limiting factor. At full compression and full lock, tires contact or shred the factory liner before they ever contact the body metal. That constant abrasion destroys plastic liners quickly and can cause tire damage on aggressive builds.

High-clearance aluminum inner fenders solve this by replacing the factory liner with a repositioned, higher-clearance aluminum panel that gives your tires room to cycle fully from full droop to full compression, lock to lock  without contact. On a build running 40-inch tires with an aftermarket long-arm suspension system, these are not optional. They are a prerequisite for the tire size working at all.

Best For

• 2018–2026 Jeep JL, JLU, and JT builds running 35–40"+ tires
• Lifted builds with increased suspension travel that has exceeded factory inner fender clearance
• Coilover conversion builds needing trimmed clearance for shock bodies and reservoir
• Desert runners and hard-use trail rigs who need vented panels for engine bay cooling
• Muddy trail rigs who need solid panels for full engine bay protection
• Builders who want one kit that covers both use cases without buying twice

Frequently Asked Questions

Are both solid and vented panels actually included in one kit?
Yes. The Savvy inner fender kit includes both solid and vented panel sets. You choose which configuration to run based on your build and conditions. No additional purchase is needed for either panel type.

Does this fit the Jeep Gladiator JT?
Yes. The kit fits the 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT in Gas and Diesel configurations. Diesel and 392 models require a washer tank relocation kit sold separately.

Do I need to cut anything to install these?

Minimal trimming required for stock fit. For maximum clearance on aggressive big-tire setups, an optional 1.82" cutback is recommended but not required. All necessary mounting hardware is included.

Do these work with my coilover conversion or reservoir shocks?
Yes. The modular two-piece design is specifically trimmable to clear aftermarket coilovers, remote reservoirs, and custom suspension components. Trim the panel where clearance is needed, leave the rest intact.

My JL has a 392 or Diesel engine will these fit?
Yes, with one additional step. The 392 and Diesel JL, JLU, and JT models require a windshield washer fluid tank relocation kit to achieve proper fitment. That kit is sold separately. Verify you have the correct relocation kit for your specific engine before ordering.

What are the mill finish blemishes mentioned in the notes?
Raw aluminum panels may have minor surface marks from the manufacturing and handling process. These are cosmetic only and do not affect fitment, strength, or performance. If leaving the panels raw, prep the surface with Scotch-Brite or DA sand for a cleaner consistent finish. Or powder coat or paint to your build color.

What finish do the panels ship in?
Raw aluminum. Powder coat, paint, or Scotch-Brite and leave raw. Your choice.
