#LIFTED CATEYE DURAMAX INSTALL#
The prices will vary depending on what kind of lift kit you want to install as well as the weight of your truck, but once you get those two factors figured out, the rest is quite simple. Most truck owners will agree that although lift kits can be pricey, the pros outweigh the cons. On mine with 10 inch wheels my tire still hit the flare so I did the rest.There are many great reasons to install a lift kit on your truck, whether it be purely aesthetics or more for functionality purposes.
You might try without that part first and see how it goes. You might be able to just do the first part and not notch the actual fender and flare since you want to use stock wheels. Use some wire and tie the inside edge of the liner back to the body mount there too. Use a couple metal screws to hold the liner and the flar good and tight. Put the rivets back, making sure the flare is over the liner first. Then cut a notch in the flare so it matches the fender.
Use hammer to shape it into place so it covers the sharp edge at the bottom. After doing that you can bend the part on the bottom you bent at first back up. Cut a notch up high there so you can bend the edge of the fender over to hold the inner part with the hole. Push the part with the hold back until it is touching the inside of the fender.
Use the sawzall to cut up the curve of the fender past the first hole.
Use a needle nose vice grip on the 2nd up hole to hold the flare out of the way. Remove the bottom 2 rivet on the fender flare. Then smooth it up, grind it good and flush. It will be way hard at the bottom because you are going through 4 pieces of metal due to pinch welds and the right angle part at the botton. Take a sawzall and cut the pinch weld from up high near where it meets the cab wall all the way to the bottom. At the bottom of the fender grab the bottom part with pliers and pull/bend that part down out of the way. Use something to hold it up out of the way. Remove the rivets for the fender liner and pull it up. You will need a waterpump plier since it has a nice long handle, big hammer, sawzall, grinder, safety glasses, drill, metal screws. Get crate of something to sit on while working, this will take a while.
