just got my 25 mm spacers
just got my spacers and here how it looks. has totally no fender gap and has mean rubbage. the fender has been slicing up my tires so tomorrow i will grind out 3/4 of the fender lip and reseal it. also i left the 5mm spacers i already had so it's not 25mm any more but 30mm altogether.
(before)
(after)
(the spring didn't seat properly yet so theres a gap)
see how much rubbage there is, it's pretty low. half way down the tire.

how do you roll the fender? from all the rubbing. the tire ate up all the paint and rubber lining. so i'm just going to grind the bare metal that's showing and coat it with rust proofing and rubberized bed lining spray.

there is a tool that you use, but if you dont have access to the tool
then use a base bat bat, just be sure to heat the area with a heatgun
first to prevent the paint from cracking.
If the rubber lining is off, your tires will start to get torn up, just use
a baseball bat u shouldn't have any trouble with cracking, but use
the gun just in case.

I'd strongly urge you not to try any homebrew body work if you don't have experience wanachat15. There is a tool and the baseball bat has been done, but that type of thing is best left to the shops that know what they're doing. You can really make your box look like poopie very easily doing it.
I personally have zero experience doing it and I would not even think about trying it without someone with years and years of experience helping.
