The heater hose mod, is removing the rear isolators and wrapping the top coil of the spring with the hose...The isolator is pretty thick so doing this mod lowers the rear by 1/2-3/4 of an inch...Pretty easy mod to do, and is very efficient...

Roll the fender for added clearance if need be...I don't think rolling the fender is that big of a deal...

Since when does one have to roll your fender to run a 315? i had 315 bfg's on my first car, all i did was the bfh mod (big ****** hammer) where they rubbed. Id just suggest an aftermarket phb (they would barely rub on hard corners).

If you want to roll the fenders Ricks Tire Barn on Atlantic does it cheap, I think like 20$ and I have yet to see any come back to my shop with chiped, cracks or any flaws in the paint from it.

Just roll them it's no big deal and you wouldn't even notice it unless someone pointed it out to you. Besides 315's will rub especially lowered.
