How high to the flares go up the box side? I have rust over my wheel wells and its either cover them (cut out the rust and clean up), New box or flat deck haha. Would love the flares tho.

Post up a pic (or PM it to me) of the rust at its highest, and measure it too. I think mine go up a couple of inches.

I cut mine out 2-3" bigger cause of rust. Had to do the front to match. Did a neat job and put "door edge protection trim" over it. Doesn't look half bad. Flares will be difficult to mount now. Probably pull the rear out wider and use fiberglass up front eventually. Looks good for now with my 32s. Inner fenders were a PIA, though.

The black headlights are called 'Nightrunner' headlights, at least it's the Mopar name for them. There is no kit, you have to buy and install them. I picked up mine from Amazon, but they were a lot less $$ than
this. this.
