    If I do, they are on the camera at home. When I go back for Christmas I will see if I can upload them.

    I forgot what its called, but i used some of the clear rubber like stuff in a tube, then bondo, then bedliner. I messed up the first side by trying some spray on rubber stuff that never dried, I couldnt get it all off so the bedliner is starting to peel off a bit on that side; the other side is fine. It hasnt started leaking yet so I guess its working :eek:

    With fiberglass fenders/bedsides, can you get by with minor clearancing or are you still likely looking at removing a lot of material?

    Glass only solves part of the issue, you'd still have to deal with the firewall.

    It's not the necessarily the fender your worried about. It's the actual firewall/inner fender wall that needs material taken out in order to clear.

    Yeah, I'm familiar with the firewall - sorry, meant will that remove fenders and bedsides from the equation, or will they still need to be trimmed a bit? I may just end up cutting mine - would be much cheaper, anyway.

    I'm sure having fiberglass would most likely clear but the only way to know for sure is to pull the coilover setup and fully stuff the tire. With the different offsets on rims and running spacers the only way to know for sure is to actually stuff it. Should be different for everyone. My measurements were pretty close to Tanners but I"m a little different in the rear of my front fender. I took off nearly 3.5 inches on the rear of the front fender! Tanner took more!

    Correct. I beat everything back with a sledgehammer. The 1'' body lift helped, I'm not sure if I would have been able to do it without it.

    Yes. I have fiber glass fenders and they will need cut big time on the lower part.
