I wanted to see if anyone had a picture or could tell me exactly where you have to hit the inners. Getting some 11" Boyds and lowering with Eibachs and wanted to get some info ahead of time. Thanks in advance.

Beat in the inners at the bottom where it starts to curve. It will be very clear once you try and mount the tires. It won't take too long to do.

Yea on the front part of the inner fender, there is an area towards the bottom that protrudes from the rest, it's about 1-2" long. That's the only rubbing I had, and I just beat it in with a regular hammer to make it flat like the rest of the fender, was easy.

when you take the tire off, you will see where you need to hit the fender.

They have a 7 3/4 backspace. What else do you recommend? Thanks for all the quick responses guys. There is another guy here in town with 11" boyds on his with same backspace (also lowered) and he pounded but didn't have to roll the fenders. Keep the info flowing!

I used a 3lb sledge hammer. Just drive around with them for a bit and you will be able to see where they rub.
