is anyone in here running the bushwacker fender flares? how much cutting is involved with these? how much more room did it give u? how much did u pay for these?

 

i dont have them- this is a question purely out of curiousity- do you want them to get more tire clearance or do you like the look?

 

there is no cutting. I have them, and for coverage and looks they are great but the day I bounce off a tree they will be in pieces. They arent built to take a hit like the Stillen fender flares I had.

Nobody makes a Cut out flare for the 2nd gen dodges because there isnt anything to cut on the rear part of the fender.

 

yea ... most aftermarket flares for the rams are just screw in/tape in .... cut out flares would be around the idea of prerunner work and would require extensive metal work etc etc etc.

 

mmmm Prerunner... I want a prerunner truck, but I dont live in the mohave...

 

so they dont really do anything exept keep stuff from slinging off the tires and hitting ur truck?

 

It you have some big wide tires some state have laws that then can't stick move then a certian distance from the side of the truck. So the flares let you get around that.

 

Im with God Ram It.

I have seen the bushwacker ones, and the Stillen ones

Go with stillen they are made of a polycarbon rubber (or whatever the hell it is) and they will flex and take abuse. The last thing you want to do is try to replace a plastic fender flare, or even try to find one

 

for the price of the bushwacker and xenon (i think thats what the other brands are) flares, and if they may crack and shatter when hit...id go with that stillen brand guys aobve were talkin about... i know with the new tires and rims and the difference in backspacing i might need to figure out a set of flares for my rig

 

your other choise is Warn. Those flares look good and I believe they are more rugged than than the bushwackers or the xeon flares.

I got rid of my stillens because the fronts dont really stick out that much.
