fender flares?

[Copterdoc]

I know this has been asked a dozen times, but here goes again. I have my 285 bfg A/T's mounted. now I need fender flares. I like the look of the bushwacker pocket type flares. Does anyone have these? Pics? I think I am going with the black on my silver truck. Thanks for any input.

Yes, i too need to know. i have researched it a couple times but keep forgetting which ones don't rub the paint.

I am overtly satisfied with my oem "Powerwagon" flares. This is the way a CTD 2500/3500 should come fitted from the factory. Great fit & finish, resist stones, rocks & debris, easy install, although a bit pricey but worth it.

I just added the pocket flares. My wheels have 6" backspacing, so I didn't need to cover up the tires, but I wanted to control all the mud and crap that gets thrown up on the side. I'm a little worried about them getting scratched and chipped, but I didn't think black flares would look good on a two-toned truck.

I have the bushwacker extend-a-fender flares on mine. See reader's rigs.



I had them color matched and clearcoated along with the door spears. That was a few years ago, and there have been some chips in them from rocks but I just touch them up with paint pen and all is well.

Here's another shot of the pocket style bushwackers. Fit is very good. I've had to take mine off a few times as well (turbo change, etc. ) and R&R is very easy. As far as the paint rubbing issue, some have said to use black rtv where the flares contact the truck to prevent dirt/abrasives from getting in there and rubbing the paint.

The flares your looking for that won't rub the paint are the A. T. S. Design's fender flares. See my gallery for pictures.

I am going with the Pocket flares and was concerned about them rubbing the paint as well. To remedy this I will be having Line-X sprayed around the wheelwells to match the contour of the flares. The Line-X will be taken out 1/8" of an inch past the flare to ensure they do not rub. This will be done in conjunction with my rocker panels So it will be two tone black on silver.
