My inner fenders
Welp, I just though I would share some pics of the inner fenders that I built for the front of my truck. I confirmed just the other day that is lays frame on 20's with just a 1.5" raised crossmember and upper plates. I've got a lot of time into the inner fenders so far, and ALOT to go still, but just thought I would share to show you guys it is possible to keep your inner fenders!

Re: My inner fenders
Will that method only allow for the xtra clearance @ a stand still since they still bolt-in in the original locations on the inner fender?

Re: My inner fenders
you know, I haven't tried to turn the wheels yet... But It shouldn't be a problem at ride height. I normally air my truck all the way to go around corners anyway. I'll let you know more once I get it back from the body shop and have my wheels in hand.

Re: My inner fenders
Those look nice, curious about the turning radius. Keep us posted!

Re: My inner fenders
I've been thinking about this a little, and the inside of the inner fenders is only about an 1-1/2 away from where the inside of the fenders is at the most. My wheels have 5.25 back spacing.... my old one only had 4.5 without inner fenders and they NEVER rubbed. It will be close, but I think it will be ok. If not, I guess I just won't be scraping around corners, so no big deal. I'm just sick of picking rocks off of my intake manifold, and with the new paint job I don't want to take the risk of denting my hood from the inside.

Re: My inner fenders
I hated the trailer fender look as well. It doesn't even have side too it with those and it is still all open to the engine compartment.
I have a lot of time into them as they are and they are no where near perfect. They will serve their purpose purpose, but I would do it different next time around. My avatar is what it will look like pretty much exactly. Probably lower when laid out though. Last edited by smashingchuck; 05-15-2008 at 06:53 AM. |
