fender flairing

Does anyone have experience rolling the front fenders of a 96 f150 or similar with a tool like Eastwood's or Summits fender roller. The metal is double layered. Trying to get 285 20's on a 3 inch lowered front. The rear seems pretty straight forward to flair. Thanks in advance.

I haven't rolled our trucks fenders, but I have the tool and have rolled numerous older cars. My Mustang has double layered metal on the rear and I rolled it. Just have to go slower. You can use a bat or rolling pin also to get the bend started, then finish it with the roller.

Biggest thing to watch for on front fenders is puttong too much pressure in one spot could cause it to bow out.
