The front fender mounts the same in the back. Once it comes of above the intersection of the fender and hood, it actually has an extra piece to attach the inside of the fender to the inner fender as the fender does continue about two inches higher. (although the inner fenders will be hand-built) I did achieve my goals for clearance, once I add in a lower profile tire. And no, I don't have to raise the boards, just think it will be cleaner for the front and rear and boards to be flush. I still hope to lay the body on the ground with bags. The added benefit of the higher fenders, because of the Envoy strut clearance, it should allow me to drop it that extra 2 inches.
The pancaked hood is also a bonus because I plan to pancake the top as well.
