I wasn't going to whack the fender with the bat! The method I'm referring to is to slide the bat or a hardwood dowel in between the tire and the fender and roll the truck back and forth, letting the bat roll along the fender inner lip stretching it out. Generally start with a guy or two in the bed and keep adding guys while you work the flare. It works really well but I always had more sidewall. I'm worried I could crush the wheel edge.
