Inner Fenders, How Did You Cut Them? Picture Thread
So, I have air ride on my truck and always seem to be bottoming out in the inner fenders. I would like to keep my hood springs and not get too carried away with cutting out. How did you guys with air do it? Got any pictures? I am looking for tons of ideas here so let's see what you got!

Re: Inner Fenders, How Did You Cut Them? Picture Thread
No one with cut inner fenders? I am thinking about how to cut a portion out of my inner fender and leave a portion that holds the spring. Anybody? I can go through build threads forever but am not having much luck finding the requested pics.

Re: Inner Fenders, How Did You Cut Them? Picture Thread
I removed them completely, as they were 1/2" away sitting in park, and I'm not on air. If my truck had an engine under the hood, however, it looks like it would get dirty pretty fast. Depending on the offset of your rims, you may also have to slightly mod your outer fenders (the bolt strip anyways).

Re: Inner Fenders, How Did You Cut Them? Picture Thread
This may seem like a stupid question, but how difficult is it to remove the inner fender wells? I'm sure it's all bolt-on/off, but do you have to remove the outer fenders? I'm asking b/c I need to replace my rusted out inners.

Re: Inner Fenders, How Did You Cut Them? Picture Thread
I removed my inners without removing my outers. There are 2-4 bolts on the firewall and rad support (It's been a whil ,I can't remember the exact # or locations...) and then the ones you see along the top of the fender.

Re: Inner Fenders, How Did You Cut Them? Picture Thread
I trimmed a little off two plces of the hinges. Moved the spring up a little bit at both ends. Still works great. Then I trimmed an arch in the inner fender at the squared off parts that run from the fire wall to the core support. Then bent the inner fender metal over the tires to match the arch. It did leave a gap in the inner fender at the fire wall end. But I think its better then having nothing. Now it does look home made. And one day I will replace it with a real wheel tub. But this works for now and it was free. I will load a few pics. The last pic is stock, before i cut it.
