Default Flared Fenders & Bedside

I'm sure most of you if not all of you have seen this before but i just came across it. im thinking of it as a way of getting more travel out of my suspension and having bigger tires without lifting my truck too high. they are fiberglass fenders and bedsides made by a company called fiberglass unlimited. the fenders and bedsides actually flare out and raise up. does anyone know of anyone who has them and what do they think is it worth it or should i just go with more lift? does anyone know if i could fit 35's on with a 3" sus lift and these fenders? 33's are suposed to fit with just the lift. also would i have a better chance with a 2" body lift as well?

Dont really like the looks, but if you plan on doing some serious offroading then i'd say go for it!

hmmm... im trying to figure out if I can fit 20"x12" tires inside with a 2"front drop and 4" rear drop on my 97 standard cab.


hahah well i was just imagining i should say... my dad said he might be interested in them for his 02 quadcab. But thats only if he decides to get his lift kit. We still have to install my brothers 4"lift for his 90' jeep.


later & thanks for the link.

might try e-mailing the company who makes the lift kit, they might be able to tell you what fits.
