Fender rolling

[DADI03]

Has anyone here ever rolled their fenders.
I just lowered my truck. Im having clearance issues now. Which l expected. I've watched tons of videos on rolling/stretching the fenders. Im realizing all the videos are little sport cars with must be thinner metal. I worked on mine for a long time and l have gotten 0 movement. I've been using a bat instead of the roller tool. Any pointers are appreciated.

The roller tool works much better than a bat.

I've used a baseball bat to roll fender lips before...just go slow and do a little roll at a time.

I've been using a bat with heat for a while. It's barely moved. No paint so I'm not worried about that

I resorted to a hammer on the underside.

Had a buddy do my GTO....He used a roller and a heat gun....It was still a LOT of work....

I was hoping to get some stretch as well as folding the lip. I lowered it 3 in the front and 5 in the back. I wasn't really wanting to run real low profile tires but thats what I'm going to do now. I'm probably going with 255 35 20 now. I'm running out of steam on this project.

A bunch of places l looked at was saying you could get about an inch of stretch if you weren't worried about the paint. Which I'm not. But I don't think that's possible with an older vehicle. The steel is just thicker than newer vehicles
