Default Fender flares

Ok well i think i figured out the wheel and tire package. When i ordered the new autospring level kit the guy said to take out the piece of **** summit brand ones. lol but now my tires still stick out kinda far. Anyone know a clean slick looking fender flare that is about 1 1/2"?? i like the factory fx4 ones but they just wont cut it. Any suggestions with out any cocky ones...thanks

well mine is the kit that you have to compress the springs and put in...not the one that bolts up..and it barely lifted the truck....when i jacked it up and extra 2 inches it cleared everything...so im hoping its good and if not ill bend in the fender a little

Are those the $199 flares off Ebay?
I just ordered a set and they dont seem to fit well at all. I tried putting one of the rear ones on and it just wouldnt line up, then it got cold and snowed so I havent tried to put the others on. The very bottom edge of the flare didnt seem to fit against the body. Do you have to remove the plastic trim piece and bolt that is in front bottom of the wheelwell? I didnt get any directions (I probably shouldnt need them but I guess Im kinda dumb)
