Yes... Cutting the extra piece of metal that would rub otherwise inside the fender.

I have read a member regreted about having the fender lip cut too much that make his front fender very flimsy. He said it was very weak that he could bend it by hand and his fender become wavy when the tire hit.

THIS - Maybe the other people posting just cut a little but if you cut a lot and proceed to rolling the fenders, they will crumble or get wavy.

DO NOT Shave your fenders before you pull them. Your fenders will crumble. I've seen it happen in person.

Other than that GL. If you don't want to tackle the job yourself I'm pretty sure Cali has a bunch of people who do it for a good price.

Who do we have here in FL that does pulls? (not just rolls the fenders) but actually pulls them.
