    This is a really simple trick to make those meats fit ,and give you a bit more fender room . After lowering my f-100 , I saw the need for a bit more room in the rear fender area. I took a baseball bat , using the small narrow end and tucked it between the tire and fender .Rolling it over the tire completing the arch moved the metal out just slightly for more room .Putting the bat in further made an acceptable gap for no more tire rub on the rear .This took less than 20 mins , and i had the clearence i needed . Be sure and be carefull when doin this simple little trick as not to pich or loose a finger .Also take your time and use small bites or the bend will be to great.
    Simple but it worked .

    RASH, naw ,but thats what a sawzalls for- LOL ,Y/W slick ! The # one tip while doin this tech is , no matter how many beers you and your buddies down don't do this while the vehicle's moving . You'll end up w/ Mr toads wild ride . Or it will be like try'n to hold on to that outta control drill . [​IMG] [​IMG] .
