Default Fender Flares

Put my 4" pocket Flares on today. Rears were easy, fronts were a PITA !

Looks Good! What made the fronts so difficult?

The J clips that attaches to the fenders, well the front wells have wider lips and its like a double layered sheet metal so the j clips wont grab at the edge as they should. Had to drive some self taps in, I didn't care much for the j clips anyways so I added screws to the rears as well to secure them.

Looks like the bushwhacker ones on my truck! I love the look of these. Are you planning on new rims with an aggressive offset to fill the flares out?

Got them on Amazon, made by APC or ACP?? lol $136 for the set, not the best but fine for now.

The tires do fill them out, they stuck 3-1/2 inches past the fenders, these were 4" wide but looks like they are even with the tires edges.. Ill get pics tomorrow. the tires are Cooper Discoverer STT Pro 35x12.5x15 on American racing aluminum wheels.

I like the stance. Is your suspension stock, or do you have a lift?

Here is a pic of the truck before the flares to give an idea on the offset of the tires.

It supposedly has an 8" lift from what the previous owners told me.
That's what I told the tire shop and they ordered the shocks to fit it.

This is a picture of my Daughter who is about 5'8" with my son before the new tires just as an idea.

Ok that looks to be a decent offset. I like the look. What size tires and rims are you running?
