To get the bed to fit over the wheels i had to cut the inner fenders out and a little of the bed floor, then i rolled the lip on the fenders and used threaded steel rod through the factory fender holes to push out the fenders enough to clear the tires, i can get some more pics of it tomorrow i just realized i forgot to take pictures of that lol
