Widen wheel tubs question??
 

I need to widen my wheel tubs to fit my wheel/tire combo. Is there somewhere that makes a pre bent section that I can weld in to widen them. I do not have the capabilities or the knowledge to do it myself.

How about a set of used tubs to cut a section out of? If you want perfect, new tubs are only 80 bucks from Top Banana.

I bought a second set and split them adding 2 inches and just one seam to weld up. just offset the cut on the other tub the amount needed when you cut it.

I used two sets of OEM ones also to make wider ones.

I bought a set of repop fenders, cut both old and new sets, welded them together for a few more inches. Keep in mind that you might need to add/move the skid strip mounting holes in the fender lips if you keep the wood bed. I added some and bent the lips to make it look stock where the strips go under.

Just sectioned the stockers and added a 4" strip...:uhmk:

I didn't get to do mine but I thought it'd throw in a pic since there square n not round.

If my truck sits lower, can the stock wheel tubs be made taller as well?
