or should i add a 1x2 under the j trim
Just to clarify: the walls are stuccoed higher than the J-trim level? What's behind the stucco, anyway? You are going to need a board (perhaps a 2x2) to mount the J-trim anyway and I would be very cautious about laying it right ontop of stucco, not to mention it's against the code in most places though perhaps not everywhere. I would strip the stucco down and screw the J-trim board to the framing. I imagine this is the 1-2" cut you're talking about. It's going to be a tad wider than 2"Â though - you'd need to give yourself some space to position and level the board. Â
So, yes I would do both: cut the stucco <strong>and</strong> add a board under the J-trim.
