ORIGINAL: Welder597

I purchased a Thuren Track bar when it comes in I will let all know what happens. Next step will be cut wheel wells and put on Bushwacker Pocket Fender Flares
I just got my Bushwacker pocket flaress today and am going to look for some larger Chrome plated bolts to replace the dull looking stainless bolts it comes with.
I have an almost total blacked out truck with the exception of the headlights, hood trim and chrome wheels. I just think something a little larger and in shiny chrome to match the wheel, will set it off good.
I'll post back with what I find. Those stainless bolts it comes with look like crap!!
You didn't happen to check to see how much it would cost to spray them with bedliner did you?

Well did some looking on my truck earlier tonight and from the looks of it 35's will not fit.... with my leveling kit & Moto Metal wheels might be able to do 34's. Man knew I shouldn't have listened to the guy at the wheel shop...[:@] Well going to order up my Thuren tracbar and get everything lined back up in the next week or so.

thanks, fireman.
so what i was thinking was correct...more backspacing, closer to the vehicle.
what i wasn't thinking about was with less backspacing, you'll have the chance of rubbing the fender edges.
now the rubbing issues are making more sense.
