Default Battle Boxes

I'm getting my fenders rolled and having Wild Rides battle boxes installed as well. I told the welder I'm using to go ahead and beef up anything he thought needed to be strengthened and wondered if you guys had any input on what he should be thinking about.

Already have Kenny Brown's welded in.

Good recommendation though.

Hopefully I'll be getting it back today, so I'll post what he decided to do besides installing the battle bozes.

bouchermb, please let me know how much it was to get your fenders rolled. I'm about to get mine done to fit my 295's better and I wanna get a round about idea on how much is cost.

I got the battle boxes installed and the fenders trimmed back and rolled under for $250.

I didn't notice any rubbing on the way home, butI haven't whacked it or hit a significant bump or dip with a passenger in the car.

I think it will be fine though.

Mike
