i was thinking about bolting the rear turn signals directly to the sides of the fender.

ever see it done or any reasons not to ?

 

Stock. Bolted directly to the fender.

Heartland kits, directly to the rear fender.

You could re-enforce the area with a brace underneath behind the turn signals.

 

now thats what i am talking about... i was going to fab an extension for the struts and move them back when i started thinking i might just bolt right to the fender and call it a day but i wasnt sure if there would be vibration or other issues.
that looks good thanks for the pic
