All those cost WAY more than I'd want to spend. I thought about making my own front fenders. Like the whole fender. Or at least from the top 2" or top body line down. All these don't stick out wide enough or go all the way down the the rocker like I want. And for the back I'd either make a bolt on set that tied into my eventual sliders and rear bumper. Or just weld them to the body. Would only cost maybe $200 to make a whole set and have them powder coated how I want them. Might take me a while but save so much money. Just how I would do it since I can have it all drawn up and broke and powdered for free.

I don't know if anybody mention it yet but I think "Dirt bound" makes the same thing for front and rear

Does anybody know how far the Rusty's stick out and cover? I have 33x12.50 with 4.5" of backspacing, just want to make sure they will cover...

you'd probably have an inch or so still out past the edge of the fender

i actually own these and run them. I also happen to love how they function and look.
When i installed 33s they rubbed on my bushwackers hard. it was either trim and no fenders, or more lift, or these.
all of these pictures are on the same 3.5 inch lift and the same 33s on the same jeep
i have some pictures on my rig for you guys and i can get more if requested, or a specific shot if i can manage.

I have them and love them. Plenty of clearance and great tire coverage. I've got a custom 6" 3 link on 33's.

So for you guys running them... I am trimmed about as far as possible both front and rear... Where do these sit on that mark? With the high clearance ones, how far did you cut up?
