im sure im not gonna tell you anythink you dont already know but its worth saying. Fender flares are excelent for protecting your truck from rocks and grime kicked up by your tires on the road, but if you live in an area where they salt the snot out of the roads like they do here in Michigan during the winter that salt gets trapped in between the flares and the fenders causing them to rust out. ive had a few guys stop and ask me where i got mine from just because they had rust they wanted to cover up lol. Sorry for the long drug out comment

You should look into ''chassis saver majic paint'' if thats what your looking to do. Look up stacy Davids Gears on you tube, not cheap but works, no personal experience with it of course

I have EGR flares on my truck.
New Products from EGR USA | EGR USA - Fender Flares, Windows Visors & Hood shields
It is kind of a pain to remove them and re wax the paint.

Like mentioned the flares will hold moister and salt and will cause rust. Even the little chrome wheel lips that ford used to put on trucks would rust from underneath. The best thing for protecting the rockers, bottom of doors, bottom of fender, bottom of box from rock chips and then rust that I have seen are running boards. As rusty as our trucks are from WI salt the bottom of the rockers, doors, etc. are all perfect because we have running boards on all our trucks.

Not too sure if this is what you are looking for... I had the rust problem so I cut it out and put on these Bushwacker Cut-out Flares
Those are 35s on no lift (just towing in back)
I think Im gonna level it and then I could poss clear 38s or 40s...
