[QUOTE="PorterW1111, post: 1503203, member: 40826"] Disclaimer before i answer your questions just know upfront. these fenders DO NOT come 100% bolt and go. they require some finesse, love, and body work to get the factory finish look on YOUR truck. i emphasize "YOUR" because every single truck has a slightly different fit. from variance in the factory / QA, to maybe a bump or pothole, a ramp you might have hit once or a Prius that wouldn't get out of the way. things move and these fenders will need to be "custom" fit to your truck. Also know that once you get the front fenders on you will likely want to do the bedsides too. which are even more work than the front. oh and if you are in sweden, shipping is going to be a b*tch. ok now that the disclaimer is set... 1) Have you guys had any long terms problems with the 2.5 bulge fenders? - the only long term issue is know these are fiberglass, so they will not hold up to dents and dings as well as metal. not saying that is a bad thing but just know a simple fender bender my cause a bit more damage than with stock fenders 2) What else would I need to upgrade, spacers, wheels, suspension? -this is a loaded question. the short answer is "it depends on what you want/driving style" -the long answer is that these fenders are normally a side effect / requirement AFTER other mods. for example if you want to run 37s, larger offset, more compression, and any of the more extreme mods you would put these fenders on after the fact. i will reiterate these fenders can be A LOT of work to put on and get right. 3) The 37s I guess is a topic for another thread, but somehow related anyhow. -there are many many threads on how to run 37s but long story short, go to mid perch(probably worth rebuilding the shocks while they are out), hammer pinch welds, and use a nice offset wheel. method nv, icon wheel, normally have an offset designed to be used in this fashion, if you go to fuel, or other more general application makers you will need to pay more attention to the offset that you are purchasing. Cheers and welcome to the forum! [/QUOTE]
