I just looked at the smittybilt site and the only picture i saw was of the front flare. looking at it i cant see why it wouldnt work but i didnt see a pic of the rear flare. How would the rear flare work with a four door? I would need to see how the bolt holes are to determine that. Should work on a 2 door without problems i think. Why not just go to the JY and score a set of used tj flares for a few bucks?

We put some on my sons YJ. They are very flexible until bolted down. So I would think they would work fine.

Thanks guys! I dont like the TJ flare look.
I think for the rear flares to fit all I would have to do is cut a slit for the door to open.
How it would look IDK.
