Do the flares come smooth or do they feel just like the mirrors? How did you gloss them? Thanks

you can get smooth or textured and I glossed them by painting them.

Do you know if you can buy mirrors that way too? I really want to get the mirrors gloss black to match my truck

nfabs would work but I really like the stock oval steps for some reason so I was wanting them to work. They do bolt into the pinch weld so they are a better alternative honestly

Its a 2.5in level, a 3in spindle, and a 3in body. All in all I netted a tad over 9in in the front since the taller spacers give a little more than the height of the spacer. They are 35s (actually more like 35.5) but 37s would probably look better and would fit no doubt.

it wasnt that hard, just meticulous. A ton of little single steps that have to be followed
