I'm looking at something higher than 4.56 and either a locker or full spool but that's awhile down the road. Gotta finish the cage and get a new front end built

rsk was a good price. it was 250 picked up or 310 shipped. I just had them shipped locally to save me gas and time. fitment was okay but again its fiberglass. so it will never fit perfectly like most people anticipate so just dont expect it to fit 100%

i think it is a 3" rise and 4" flare. identical to glassworks whatever they are. and we used the stock mounting holes. could have tucked it alot better on mine but we did cut too much of the fender well off which was my fault.

we cut them for travel purposes as well as to mount the fender but my bigger tire was the main reason for cutting the inner fender well.
