Default Fender Flare Suggestions

I have a 2011 Tuxedo Black f150 XLT with a 4 inch rancho lift kit, with 35x12.50x18 Nitto trail grapplers and 18x9 fuel hostages. Im looking into buying fender flares for it. Im just not sure what ones to buy. I found these

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261398376632...84.m1423.l2649

Their pretty cheap but i honestly don't see the different into whether i buy these or buy bushwackers for 500. Is there anyone that's personally used these and had any luck. Also I'm not sure whether to buy a smooth or textured finish.
Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

Yes they are pretty much the same as others. But here is some advice. They are a bit wider thn others and if you plan on painting them you will want smooth and not textured.

These are bushwacker pocket flares PTM. Easy install, and looks great! Highly recommend the bushwackers. I've heard some of the cheaper ones don't installed as easy.

I don't really care if their painted or not I like smooth but I think they'll scratch way to easy compared to textured.

I went with Stampedes.
Honestly the worst upgrade I did. Mine are very brittle. Cracked the front and rear driver side so far. Had to full the off and repair them. Maybe other brands are more flexible or durable ?
At over $500 unpainted they weren't cheap neither. ;-)

Also running bushwacker extend-a-flare's... Had them installed for some time now, through winters, car washes, off-roading. Not brittle, no problems with cracking, fit is great.

I originally planned on having them painted, but after I test fit them the matte black was very close to some of the other matte black trim on my truck and I left them on and unpainted...
