Interest for High rise(pre-runner style?) Fenders Fiberglass - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am Running 35's on a 3 inch body lift with 6 inch suspension lift on my 71 K5. Doing some good wheeling and turning sharp at the same time, my tires will rub the front and back sharp points on the inside of the fender. That being said I would only need about 2inch on each side = 4inch but I have plenty of clearance at the top. This is great that your looking into doing this, I've always thought of doing something with my fenders but didnt want to lose the clean GM factory line and flare.(you have to admit, the factory look is clean or we probably wouldnt be on this forum) not taking anything away from trucks like vtblazer's. that Blazer looks KILLER/BAD A**, thats just not the look I'm going for on my K5.
