I rolled it myself with a wooden bat and a hair dryer. Ghetto but it worked.

What does it mean by "roll fenders"? Is this where you hammer out the wheel well alittle in order to put in thicker tires....?

about 3 years ago before i was in the air force...i was at discount tire and noticed this uncanny trend. one of the employees was in the drivers seat of a customers truck..and basically another employee had a bat jammed up into the fenderwell between the tire and the fenderwell....and the driver just moved up and backed up while the other employee kept the bat in position...i always heard of this being done but i know that alot of "nicer" shops use a special machine....i guess it gives you clearance for wider wheels?

it depends but if you have wider rims they'll scrap the outside fender or wheel well, or if you have the ingalls camber kit and low drop the ingalls pushes the wheel out and hence you scrap the outside wheel well....right now its driving me crazy
