Fender/Inner Fender Which one first

[liftlawssuck]

Is it best to install fender first or inner fender first? I have done it both ways but never had real nice paint to worry about. I have found an old post but see different answers. Most of which don't specify if they have nice paint or not. So, which is it? Fender first? Inner fender first?

Thanks

I painted my truck apart and then assembled . I found it to be beneficial to do the fender first . I just felt hanging the fender first would go on easier with out much obstruction and wiggling to damage the paint . Once I got the complete front end on and adjusted the inner went in with out any problem . Once the inner was in I could wiggle it and line up all the bolts and lock it into place . Mine went pretty smooth .

Thanks.
That is my exact thought process as well. Glad it worked for you. That will be the way I go then.

Thanks again!
