I can't wait to see it!
I am also really interested in how the rolled fenders turn out. I am curious how they roll the part where the bumper and fender meet.

The ride is great, BUT I do rub on dips/holes in road as well as scraping on some driveways. I'm not "slammed", I have about 1.5-2 finger gap and I plan to get my fenders rolled soon. I have 18x8 wheels.

If you don't have wheels already, I would recommend going staggered front and rears so you don't need to put spacers on. I had to put 10mm on the rears.

Good luck!
