Default Fender Flares

Was thinking of getting some pocket flares for my 06 screw and didn't realize how many brands there were until I started searching. I know Bushwacker is the most popular but was wondering if anyone has any input on other brands. I also found a place online that will pre paint them smokestone for me and guarantees the color to match. They charge an extra 288 bucks to paint them which doesn't seem to bad to me as long as they show up and match and aren't damaged in shipping. Thanks for any help.

First question, are you lifted and running offset wheels?

I'm running a Rancho 4" with a 1" spacer and a 2" lift shackle in back. It's probably closer to a 6" now. My wheels are 20 x 10's with a 00 offset but I'm thinking of adding some spacers. I know a lot of people are against spacers but I've read about plenty of people running them with no issues. My front tires are about 2 1/2 " past my factory flares now and back is about 1 1/2".

Thank god. I just hate flares on a stock, non-lifted truck with wheels tucked way inside of them. The setup you have sounds like it needs some flares though. Any pics of the truck?

Be careful of the "paint match". If your paint has faided a bit, those freshly painted flares (if you go that route) may not match exactly.
