CV narrowed 2.75" fender clearance

Some people have been asking for pictures.

Here is how it fits in the fenders. I think it looks great, just about 1/2 inch inside the fender lip.

Do you have a side view, I like my tire up higher in the opening but I'm also into 56's. Yours look good in the pics.

This is the best side view I have, not enough room in the shop to get a good photo.

I do plan on lowering about 1.5" in the front I think.

Hey Ryan,
Your truck is looking great! I think the stance is just about right.
Drive it around a bit before you lower it any further in the front. We calculated our's too tight & it rubbed on dips & corners. I had to go with smaller tires than I wanted.


Looking good over there!
