Default 1st Gen Durango and 2nd gen ram fenders differences

I want to widen my body at the wheel wells but keep the factory body lines and contour. So I was wondering if the 2nd gen ram fenders are wider than the 1st Gen Durango ones and if they are will at least 4 mounting bolt holes line up. I know I will have to modify and fabricate some in the headlight mounting area but that's no my area of concern any helpful information would be greatly appreciated, thank you. Cheers!!!

As I said in your other thread on this topic, the full-sized truck fenders are going to be both wider, and longer. There will be some serious fabrication work involved to make things fit.

I'm 100% ok with putting in the fab work I just want to keep the body style factory. I have a 2018 Ford mustang s550 front bumper fabbed and modded to fit, a 2005 GMC envoy xl rear bumper modded and fabbed to fit, cab lights from a 2005 f250 super duty fabbed in, and a panoramic roof from a 2014 Hyundai Veloster fabbed in

Then it shouldn't be too much of a stretch for ya to get the fenders to work.

Is it still a dodge???

Yes she is still mopar. Just dressed up a bit. Still has the original 5.9 magnum with stage one internals with the original 46re with upgraded 6 pinion stainless planetary gears and a stage 2 exedy kit and heavy duty solenoids, trans line check valve delete, 9.25 inch rear diff 3.92 gear ratio. As long as I can get 2 bolt holes to line up I can mark and punch the others. Move the bumper forward and chop the headlight mounting recess out of the fenders and switch them over, should work right use part of the ram door skin to flush in the body line from fender to door??
