fender flares

Hello, I drive an 03 ex on 37's and Im looking to see what people think about the bushwacker fender flares they make for the ex. Just wanted to test the water and see if people running them like them or if they arent worth the money. Thanks

Hi, Welcome to the forum!
I know several folks where I live that have run Bushwacker's flares for years, and really like them. I too have been looking, but haven't made the leap yet due to high shipping cost to my home in Kodiak, Alaska. I have had 33's on my old Ex, and my new Ex will be either wearing 33's or 35's by summer, but I'll have to see how much the sides start to get messed up without flares. I am looking at them for my 2002 F350 too, as I run 35's in the summer on it too.

On a side note, what are you running for springs so you can clear your 37's? And what if any trimming did you have to do to clear.

Thanks again, and WELCOME! (and post some pic's of your Ex when you get a chance!)

Garry,

Have you checked into Amazon Prime? I use it frequently bcuz shipping is included in most stuff. It's like 80 for a yr,

That being said not sure if Alaska is included in the prime or just continental us. But maybe worth looking into.

I have 8 inch lift springs from an f350 and ill be posting pics soon. I run my 37s year round but im in Harrisburg, pa. I have a limited so I will be doing some minor custom work for the back because I love the trim. Thanks for your input on the flares.

looks good man. I'm going to be going from 38s to 46s so I'm adding the cut our bushwackers to give me some extra clearance. Mine is lifted 10" so hopefully I don't have to cut out too much lol.


I say go for it though!

Looks like your conversion worked out great. Is that a conversion kit or all custom.
