It would be a major mess trying to take the fenders off her truck and then trying to get a paint match. I've seen the truck and she needs a suspension that can be installed with the fenders on.
Why cant the fenders front core support and grille come off in one unit?

From what dwscr is saying the seams between the fenders and grille have been filled and there is concern over them cracking when the clip is removed. Welded part can be delt with but that paint would be very difficult to match. If Denee can get the inner fender panels out it will not be as hard to install the IFS
