    Didn't you get coilovers? If so, you can just raise your ride height temporarily.

    Cost? Guarantee not to crack the paint?

    Shop time so about $100 or so. We heat the fenders up to soften the paint and do everything we can to not crack the paint but no guarantees. We've rolled lots of fenders successfully.

    i did mine is $20 mins (total not per wheel) no heat gun or anything. just put your weight into it and roll. every one made it sound hard and that it would take for ever. you can even part your car in the sun all day to get the paint warm.

    I wouldn't recommend this tactic for anyone who cares much about the condition of their paint. On my black car I managed to crack the paint slightly on the last fender I rolled due to impatience and laziness with the heat gun. Fortunately this was before the respray.
