what sort of body work are you going to pull the fenders? just using a roller or hammer and dolly?

Im confused. My body work has already been done. They used fender rollers, heat guns, torches, cutters etc. Let me see if I can find you a couple of shots showing it. Also my body guy came over last night to pull a little more on my fronts. He actually pulled first, and then cut the lip and rolled what was left flat. Gained another 1/2" in the front. I think Im gonna send the wheels out to be converted to 19 x 11.5/10.5 or a 12/11 setup.

This is with the front jacked up and maxing out rear camber. You can see the body lines in the pull but barely. I didnt want it to look obvious. Maybe once I go to 12's Ill have the fenders radiused.

Absolutely no rubbing at all, even on the worse bumps. Gonna need to cut out the UCA clearance holes next. But Ill do that when we install the airbags onto my coilovers.

Proper shoot coming up tuesday~
