Looking for a nice set of flares to cover the amount that my 35x12.5's stick out. Suggestions?

 

Bushwacker pocket style. I think those look rad, painted or left black.

 

This a great question. I have also been debating over fender flares Pocket style or extend a fender. Also who make the best fender flares? I'm thinking Bushwacker, but I have never used them before. Is thereanyone out there that can chime in?

SOO TRUE!!

 

I have to say that the Bushwhacker pocket style do look nice....I ended up with some "E*Bay specials" as I had just plunked down cash for gears, tires, wheels, level kit, and shocks all at once (my wife was awsome and let me throw my whole bonus at the project!)...anyhow, they've held up really well and were litteraly 1/4 of the cost of the Bushwhackers. They aren't "pocket" style, which I still might go for at some point, but if your strapped it's not a bad option...a link to the "Flee-bay" store I picked 'em up at is - http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZchenyehtradingco - I went for the textured look as it somewhat matches my bedliner and left 'em black. This pick isn't all that great, but you can kinda see them..

im gunna go with the pocket flares also....

 

Thanks SLCHemi - I was looking for cheaper flares that still looked good. Like you said, for 1/4 the price of the Bushwhackers, it's a gamble I'm willing to take.

Of course it'll cost more to get 'em painted to match my truck but it'll be worth it. Now I've got to do something about the Hemi emblems I'll be losing...

 

I love the ATS flares like on the truck below.

No problem John M... As for the emblems, mine are still sitting on top of my toolbox. I was thinking about re-locating them (or some new ones) to where the '07 models have them. I also have a set of the black / red "2500 heavy duty" emblems that a friend at a dealership gave me (still in the plastic) I keep debating on putting on...sigh...I don't know, for now it's still undecided

As for paint, shouldn't be too bad. A good friend of mine ordered the same flares I did after seeing them and coming to the same "1/4 cost" conclusion. He had them painted at a local auto-body shop. I don't recall exactly how much they charged him, but they ended up looking pretty good. I left mine black because I've got black / silver wheels and sprayed on bed-liner over the rails so it kinda ties it all together.

 

I have 35/12.5.17's, and I run the xenon fender flares and they look really sharp. They look great and the wheels are perfectly flush, check em out: http://www.autoaccessory4u.com/xefefl1920do.html
