Hey man! Was dealing with the same issue, as I've recently cut the fenders to address a few clearance issues while flexed. If you get some washer head sheet metal screws, you can drill a few strategic holes in the body to secure the stock liner (just inside the lip of the fender). It actually works pretty well, though you'll likely need 6 to 8 screws on each side.
If you go this round, try to leave a bit of extra liner while test fitting, and trim afterwards as needed.
Good luck, hope all is well!

I chopped my fenders too and reused the stock inners. The stock rears aren’t too bad but the huge gap in the front liners leaves a lot of room for mud and rocks to enter the engine bay. There are a lot of options for inners but I wanted something with full coverage because Georgia mud is no joke. The ones I considered were:
American Adventure Labs are badass because they can be quickly disconnected. They’re on back order though and kinda pricey. If money weren’t an issue, this would’ve been my go to choice.
IMO Artec liners look great too and are meant to work with chopped fenders. A little less pricey than AAL’s but no powder coated option.
I ended up ordering some Rugged Ridge front inner liners because of the cost and the description says they’re meant to work with chopped OEM fenders, and they’re already powder coated black. I’m eyeing JCR offroad’s rear liners for the same reasons.
I’ll upload some installed pics of the Rugged Ridge fronts when they ever arrive.

Rugged Ridge front inner fenders:
They’re not as high-speed as the AAL inners but were half the price. I’m happy with them.

Do you have any pictures? I was considering these but haven't seen a lot of pictures of them installed. How well do the cover the rear of the wheel well? And did you have to drill any holes?

Install info is linked below....I did install a rivnut. 37" tires barely fit and rub a bit stuffing a 37 with 1.5" bumpstops. I'm prob going to push rear lower piece back a bit and add a little bolt through body to hold it back further.
