I've got a set of ATS Designs fender flares. I've been very happy with them.

If I were to buy another set though I would go with a set of Bushwackers.

I used bushwacker OE flares on my 2003 and I had the "cut out" look bushwackers on my 2002 Powerpoke and now I have the Mopar "Power Wagon" flares. The Mopar flares are awesome if you want the black textured finish, but the ATS can be ordered in color and the bushwackers have to be painted. I don't think you'll go wrong with any of them. :cool:
 
i see way to many trucks out here with the bushwacker style like the pic above. all the trucks were dealer done so they all have the same lift and tires too. totally killed it for me :(

those ats one look nice.
 
I have EGR brand flares that I ogt off eBay. They were already painted black and the price was right. The fit was not so hot. It took a lot of adjusting, cussing, and monkeying around to get them to fit right. (it's still not 100%, but good enough for me)
 
I have the EGR's, also from E-Bay. Mine weren't painted and I preferred them in the satin black finish. I had no issues with the fit/finish. They fit tight against the truck, but don't wear on the paint. They are also no-drill. I would recommend them if you can get a deal on them. They are pretty pricey IMO from a dealer.

The problem I had was with the rears-- They wouldn't seem to go high enough to get both the "notches" lined up with the "Vees" in the fenders. (if that makes any sense at all)
 
Makes perfect sense. I didn't have that problem. Although the rubber seal was a PITA to keep on in those spots when installing.
 
I had bushwackers on my last truck and they were nice but the fit could have been better. Same basic problem as above post. I have the mopar power wagon flares on my current truck and the fit is flawless.
 
ATS flares.



Side note, after a bit of offroading this last weekend, all of the two-sided tape across the tops of the rear flares came unstuck, so I may just put some silicone in there to bond them back to the side of the truck. I was so anal in my preparations of the paint so the tape would stick, and it gives up in two months.





Oh well... I can't post the image since I've already posted it in another thread. How do I post it again?

I like the Xenon flares because they stick out a little at the bottom giving a little protection, the power wagon ones really don't protect that much but with my black truck the black flares look good with the stock sized tires
