Good point Zipp, them things will have to grow a decent bit, you need to hang a set of modded dually fenders off that bitch, I wouldn't beat the fenders out, if anything get you a cut off wheel and trim the inner lip of the fender, they still prob will hit...

That is with only one tire on. I am going to put both tires on this weekend to see what the differance is. I have had a couple body shops in town look at it and said they could flare the fender out about a 1". I think I am going to do that and drop the back another 2"s and widen my street wheels another 1". Should be right where I want it.

Narrow your axle and tub your fenders. Get the tires to sit inside the bed

I got some more pics up with both of them on the truck. It looks like all I am going to have to do is roll the fender lip. I will not even have to push the fender out. It sits awesome, I do need to drop the rear another 2". I think when I get the matching front wheels it will look killer. I can't wait to try them out
