Bushwacker Street Flares. Not much help for Extend a Fenders,but I like this combo. I wish they'd bring back black for a factory tu tone.

When you install them make sure you take your time putting the weatherstripping on flares. Do it a few inches at a time and make sure the edge of the flare fits in the tiny grove in the weatherstripping. I just removed my flares and put 3M protective film under where the flares hit the truck. If you don’t they will rub throw the paint. Mine already started showing sings of wear after 5000 miles so I’m glad I took the time to do it. I used the 2 in protective film and cut it in half. When you apply it, you can stretch it to make the radius. The flares help keep a lot of dirt and mud off the side of my truck but my tire and rim combination sit inside my flares....barely. K

Hey Brandon, nice truck. What offset are your rims? Do you have a head on shot you could post?

CO Wapiti, Do you have the Value Package on your XLT? Do you have the AMP steps installed, its kind of hard to tell. If you don't....how do you get in it? You must 7 feet tall!! Still love the look of your truck.

I actually like the profile of the regular amps better though. I’m pretty sure that the dealer that sold me these told me I could easily add an extra motor to these so I’ll be looking into that. Thanks on the compliment of the truck!
