4.5" flare glassworks fenders install

I have a ford raptor with long travel suspension installed, but truck gor crashed. Now i m replacing my old sdhq 2.5" fenders for glassworks 4.5"

Those glassworks fenders are very difficult to install same with bedsides

There is not info about how to install those fenders, even at glassworks is impossible to get an answer from them.
Doing my best and difficult to find gaps and alignments on those glassworks fender very poor quality fenders, but the only ones who makes 4.5" flare fenders.

I know it's gonna take some work to make them look perfect, but when you do that is gonna be badass!!! I'd love to my bedsides someday, especially after doing the fronts. I think I'm gonna do the Boatec +2's, but those 4.5's look awesome!!!

Keep us updated as this is a great looking mod.....

Any update on your install?

I just did the 4.5" bedsides and still waiting for the front fenders. I have fiberwerx on the front now and the fitment was pretty good, the glassworks bedsides were a PITA! Everything you've posted is correct about the fitment issues. One thing I don't blame glassworks for, is that these bedsides aren't made for use of an OEM tailgate or the plastic bed rail covers. You will also need to lengthen your filler neck as the glassworks bedsides are wider in that spot. I'm going to use both and it's a challenge to get them to fit. I just wrapped the driver side here...

Would be great to see some more pics and possibly a shot from the rear.
