I'm not a fan of flares at all. But must admit,they do work well on that truck.
One of the few that I actually like.

Thanks... As I said I am not really a fan but they are really starting to grow on me, not to mention getting almost double the compliments and questions on the truck.

I was really worried before I installed them.. scared of how drastic they might change the look of the truck.

On a side note, the truck has never stayed clean as it has the last couple days. Before the flares I would drive threw a small puddle of water and it would be all down the side of my truck and hood.

whats the law that require you to add fender flares? im assuming it has to do with tire to fender clearance issues. was just curious

i personally like the look of the fender flares, if it wasnt for the price i would have them as well. how do they attach? and do they come primered or is it more of a replacement body part matte black type of finish?

Highway Patrol said that my tires stuck out 2" or more from the fenders. So I was required to have fender flares.

I am required to have mud flaps as well becuase my fenders do not cover half or more of my tires.


The front flares install with factory screws the truck has already. The rear flares us clamps.

All together took me around 3 hours to install, which included drilling the holes and installing the fake stainless steel screws that go all the way around each flare.
