Both of my fenders on the passenger and drivers side stick out at the bottom where they meet the door. What causes this, and how can i fix it?

yea, it's from a lift because the fender mounting tabs stick down and they got bent, mine did the same thing. i just unbolted my fender and used a crescent wrench to bend the tab back straight, then bolted it back on.. fixed!

That sounds pretty easy. Ill try later when it cools down.

There is an easy fix for that.....Take a about an inch thick piece of wood that is like 3-4 inches wide and a rubber mallet or hammer and put the wood up to the front panel bracket underneath your car and beat it ever so slightly and it will push it back in without chipping paint or hurting anything

I just went out there and looked, yall are exactly right. The brackets are both bent. Ill straighten that out tonight when it's not so hot outside. Thanks everyone!

Be careful not to break the fender when doing it.

FUH Q

Do i just lightly tap it? Is there a high risk of me breaking something here?

I used some vice-grips and a towel to protect the plastic since the wood and hammer wouldnt budge the bracket. Worked like a charm. Thanks for your help everyone!!
