have my cake and eat it too?

i am finishing up my bodydrop and came into the classic problem "cant run spikes with a bodydrop". this will just not do... so i cut and raised my fenders to clear. would love to hear some opinions of this (good or bad)

sweet

i plan on doin spikes on my bodied crew cab also.. i read in a tech article somewhere that it can be done and done so it doesnt look like the wheel is in really far.. ill see if i can dig it up cuz i plan on running the spikes on mine

Just dont drop down that low, Cutting the fender is out of the question, got to have spikes!

I have done it to two of my trucks. I mainly did this to get the stock Chevy fender radius and lines into the Caddy fenders but we also raised them up for lug clearances.

With 22s:

badass pics and o yea !! theres my fav semis the freightliners

i ran into all kinds of issues with trying to clear the rims while retaining the stock arms and rotors. the face of the frieghtliner rims are rounded where the alcoas contour in between the lug mount and the rim lip. i could not clear this section of rim without bringing the wheels in about an inch. i would like to see the article to see how it was done myself. thanks for your opinions. lock, your fenders look good. i did not notice you raised yours until now. another reason i did this was to help clear for turning radius and still have good stroke on the shocks i choose when up. before i had to max out to turn.

it was in a recent truckin magazine.. the have a tech artilce on how they did it.. they make a whole kit that comes with a set of arms and tie rods that will clear your frame without notching. theyre pretty pricey tho.. i plan on checkin them out in the near future when im at that point in my build.

Does this need to be for 22" freights with spikes with a bd? Or just 24's

i believe 24s.....but dont quote me.haha you have 22inch freights? they directionals?
