[QUOTE="Slimneill, post: 901047, member: 15376"] Did the 1.5" block in the back drop the rear down to match the front? The attached picture is of the Passenger side wheel well post grinding but pre bending. As always you get better after you learn from the first attempt. It's important to make enough of a relief so that the metal can be hammered over with out binding on the next bent tab. The bottom half was the hardest as there was 4 pieces of metal being hammered over at once. Or it could have been i was nursing a torn shoulder blade when i attempted this. Once i hammered everything over i wiped off all the grinder dust with Spray Brake Cleaner and then painted all the visible metal with Rust Killer Primer by Rust Check. Rust and salt is a serious concern up here. I will have to take more photos of the status to date. I plan to coat everything with spray on truck bed liner for another level of protection. ANd then see if i can get the stock wheel liners back in there. I will have to figure out how to pull the back half f the liner up against the fire wall. Maybe a pop rivet or something. I had everything clearanced ok then i took it for a front wheel alignment which left it rubbing again. So i removed more of the bottom inner fender and now i don't have any rubbing at all. I also installed about 3/4" worth of steel washers on all 4 front bumper bolts to shift the front bumper out forward so that i don't have any concerns about rubbing in the front and i didn't have to grind that at all. the front bumper shift is easy, takes about 5 mins if you don't take all of the bolts out at once just loosen them all off and remove two at a time. The bumper doesn't even have to come off. I only get slight rubbing if I'm stopping quickly and turning the wheel pretty sharply like almost missing a turn for a parking lot. [/QUOTE]
