Fender Flare Question.

Since my new rim/tire package sticks out some from my fenders I'm thinking about ordering some fender flares for the truck. I've been looking at the Bushwacker "OE style" or "Pocket Flare". I like the OE look better without the faux bolts the Pocket Style has. Any opinion on the best place to purchase these? Any other advice?

Believe it or not E-bay has some very competitive pricing on Bushwacker flares. I was of the same opinion as you about the "pocket stlyle" fender flares. But I had about 2 inches of "stick out" to cover up and the only flares that met that are the cut outs or pockets. And now with the "pocket style" installed, I have to say that I am more than pleased with the finish. I went with the painted look which I feel is more "low profile".

Fit was great, the fronts went on using factory hardware and the rears utilize some clip style fasteners. No gaps and a nice solid mount. I am very pleased.

I have the Bushwacker "pocket style" and I def like them!
they have little recess areas, that can be installed with SS hardware, but I just left them alone.
Bushwacker makes a few different styles but I would also look to see if WARN still makes them, they are good as is Xenons
