Who knew you could have so many hours in a fender well. Ugh! :bang: I'm continuing to make progress, but it is going sloooooooooow. We are really trying to get a full 3" of wheel travel and be able to turn lock to lock with no rubs. We are close. I can now see why most trucks being built don't have inner fenders. Here's some pics.

It's looking good Chad. I have to ask, and I'm sure that yins have already checked, but....how's clearance at actual ride height and loaded?

I have had issues in the past with my motorcyle and clearance issues didn't exist until the suspension was compressed. As tight as it looks in the pics, I would think it would get tighter still on the road

BTW, did you ever pick up a stud gun?

Oh, Scott, you should know me better than that! The pictures are actually with the wheel at a simulated 3" of compression travel. At ride height, I have a mile of room. It's at max compression and full steering lock that I am working on. If you look at the second to last picture, see the square tubing where the coilover would go? The upper hole is ride height and the hole that is being used is full compression. But good call, I thought you forgot everything about 4 wheels! :lmao: Thanks Buddy!

Who needs all this fancy metal work !

Just use some A/B exterior grade plywood - screw it together - spray some raptor on the thing and be done with it....
