FYI, this method worked great.
Couple of notes
-Use a 5lb hammer and don't be afraid to give it a good whack.
-I shot it with some rattle can undercoating. Especially behind the fold where I couldn't be sure I got good coverage with the paint.

Once i got it folded over a bit using the vice grips, it bent the rest of the way easily using a 3lb sledge. Not very hard to do at all.
hahahahahaha... i was going to say man, a 10lb is a bit overkill!!
Yeah, a 5 lb will work just the same
Matt,Nice write up!Getting ready to do this myself.. Another little trick I did with my XJ when I cut and folded my pinch welds. Glob up the folded over pinch weld with some silicone,before and after you fold it. Then hit it with a can of undercoating. It just makes sure no water gets into the weld and it starts rusting!!

In my step 5 when i say "make sure you shoot some behind the bend you created", i think that's a bit of an understatement on my part..... i sprayed so much primer back there that it was basically pouring out the bottom.

So I am going to have to do this. My tires just now started rubbing this past week. What would cause them to just now start rubbing?
What condition are they rubbing in?
