On the back drivers side tire, the lip under the fender is taking slices out of my tire. What can i do?

 

Uh Oh... Can the lip be rolled up?

In the mean time running with less fuel in the tank may keep some weight off the driver's side.

 

i don't know if i can roll it up or not.

 

Is the wheel opening mouldings ? or the bed side ?
If it is the bedside - gently roll the bed lip

 

bang the fender in with a mallet, cheap way of fender rolling.

I agree ,sounds like the fender lip needs to be rolled. What size rim/tire did you go with? Backspacing? If you decide to roll the fender lip be careful, you can mess up your fenders pretty quick.

 

the correct way would be to find a fender roller.....but who has one of those.hehe.get an old aluminum baseball bat,acouple friends to sit in the bed,and one to drive the truck. place the bat on top of the tire and apply some downward pressure onthe handle,then slowly drive the truck back and forth.you need to be on a flat paved surface.you may not need the people in the back if the tire is close enough to the lip as it sits. i know it sounds kinda scary but if you go slow it works good to get a liitle extra clearance.

if that doesnt work just buy the pink ford....no clearance problems there

 

I like that idea

 

yea just get an aluminum bat and gentle roll the fender.

 

Thanks, i used a bat and fixed it....i think.
