There are by far much better options out there! Search NAXJA and see the horror story of these things cracking and ripping off rigs. This is coming from a past owner on them......... Total waste of my $$
I have hit trees and rocks with the flares hard enough to the extent that I have actually had to take the BW flare off and straighten my fender back out after the ride was done. My LTBs grab them when I am flexed out and they bend but no cracks or breaks. I'd run with out them but MN laws and those that uphold them are strict! I got ticketed for being 1/4" over bumper height.

I hit a tree one time and it almost tore the fender off, and it didnt damage the flare except scratch it up..
x2! Mine are going on 4 yrs old now.

if the flares in the link on post 19 were flexible id order a set tonight.
Bushwackers do seem to stick out a little wide with most wheel/tire combos.

Just stick with the stock flares. It will be fine, even at the Mounds. They might rub a bit but that's it.
