Front fender clearance.

I keep reading about people pulling fenders but nobody really says how to do it. I need about 2 to 3 mm of clearance up front so it sits flush. Is there any tips or tricks on getting a little more room on the front fenders and moving them out a little bit without adding the spacer in the door jam?

I think youre already on the only path we know of. The EvO Dave spacer kit.! Never seen anyone apply a pull to the front fender

Now, in the rear, the pull is the only option avail

Curious how low you are in the front. Im set at the following:

Fender to ground = Front 25.375" & Rear 25.000"

Just thinking that if youre lower than 25.3", you may want to consider adding a bit of ride height?

I would have to measure but im not super low. I have been slowly increasing the ride height and it might be my only option just figured I would see if there's any others doing anything different besides defender mod. That seems to only push the rear out?

Some have tried rolling the fronts but being alum there is so much memory in that material that its hard to roll w/out distorting it.

Although extreme, some wider glass fenders might be in order?

I'll take care of it later, but I'm hoping I don't need to go past Step 2:

Step 1: smaller spacers
Step 2: home depot
Step 3: seibon

Yeah just the poke, it's a whole lotta poke. 10mm less spacer should pretty much fix it, and then maybe a little bit of the fender mod.
