Re: inner wheel well help
I had bump stops built to solve the problem.

Re: inner wheel well help
what year is your truck?? the inner fender wells are larger on the 73-80's... i know some 81-87 guys switch them out. i think all but 1 bolt holes line up

Re: inner wheel well help
I cut part of it away on mine with a cut-off wheel....you can see a bit of it in these pics...I took a sharpie and taped it to a 4" block of wood and set it on the tire tread and traced its shape onto the fender and cut it out with the grinder.

Re: inner wheel well help
I removed the overflow and replaced it with a water bottle, removed the windshield washer tank, and I moved the batt from the fender to the rad support, and when I put the trailers fenders in, the batt is going under the bed.
