Here are the pics of my Ram with 33.33 Jack Browns and 45mm VO Stainless fenders.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/taizocurry/6925065306/in/photostream/ The one change to the standard VO install is the the rear hanger was clipped to fit and be mounted from underneath the fender. I cut a small slot with a dremel so that the hanger head could fit thru the fender from the bottom to reach the brake bridge. The other tweak was to wrap the stay bolts with hemp twine to keep the pronounced rattle to a dull roar.
