The previous owner had installed air shock's on the rear instead of replacing the springs. The other day one of the hose got a leak in it and every time I hit a bump it the tires would hit that lip on the fenders. It started making me mad so my friend and I got out of the car at 7-11 took the jack handle off my hydrualic jack(we all keep aluminum 3 ton jacks in our trunks dont we?) and stuck it by the tire's then had my buddy drive it forward and back.Ta Da rolled fenders. I was suprised how easy it was. Must have looked pretty redneck to anyone at 7-11 but hell I am in TX.

All I did was roll that litlle lip on the fender that sticks out about an inch. Iv read alot of posts of guys doing it with baseball bats. It actually works really well.
