Almost every dealer uses the 3m spray so that answers one question. And when I did my rear seat panels, I masked around the area and hung some newspapers (kinda like prepping for paint) and managed to keep everything spraying where it was supposed to go.

A little extra work but saves time rather than trying to clean dried adhesive.

How do you know if you need a fender roll? I am dropped on Eibach pro, and running 245's all 4, with 8.5's at 35mm offset. I have not seen, heard or felt anything that makes me think I need a fender roll, but what do I know. Jotech, a local shop, told me I did not need a camber kit. What is a good rule of thumb (or wrist) to go by when deciding whether or not a fender roll is needed?

If you do decide that you need your fenders rolled, PM acidjake75, he does good work and gives us DFW members good deals.

hmm thats weird .... but yea cut about 1/2 off the mount and you should be golden :-) ... or just measure it and make sure you dont cut to to much off then you will be sagging !!

imo i would measure from ground to fender and stock should be 27.5" off the ground do the front then go to the rear and what ever the difference is cut that much off and you will have the perfect drop :-)

I just measured 27 in the rear and 26.5 in the front with Revised Z Springs. So the front sits a tad lower.
