well what size tire you want under it..I don't like roll the lip..you can flip the quads to gain about 1/2" to get 26x 12's under it the quads have to go and some hammering will be needed

quad shocks* yes it will be ok for street use, you dont need to roll the fender you can fit a 10.5 wide tire just removing the quad shock, which im sure will be enough meat for you. and if it isnt i would recommend a body shop doing it for you.

Right now Im driving without my quads and stock control arms, really dont notice THAT much of a diff b/c my quad shocks (and probly yours too) were dead anyways.
Aftermarket control arms eliminates the purpose of quad shocks anyways for 160 bucks.

i rolled my lips. can be done very easy but can also mess up a nice lip if done wrong. quad shocks do help if you have them but not always needed. i still run mine with control arms

Can you clear this up for me, rolling the lip involves rolling the INSIDE of the lip upwards? that little tab that sticks out facing towards the car at about a 45 degree angle? And you just push that up to make it flush with the rest of the fender? Because thats what rubs sometimes on my tires if I hit a good bump.

RE: rolling fender? take quad struts out
the lip is the two pieces of metal coming together and forming your opening. what i did was grab a small cresent wrench and fit it snug and just went upward with it the whole way. then i got a flat body hammer and made it got against the rest of the inner well. this helps to fit larger tires and also helps not to get your times cut up if they are wrong offset for the rims.. hope that helps if not ill try to refraise it again
