is anyone in PA running full width dana 60's ? I was wondering if we could do it and still be street legal? right now I have stock axles and am running 33 12.50's . and if they wanted to be really tough I would be illegal. your fender flares can only stick out 3 inches (although bushwakers stick out 4) and your supposed to cover the entire tread on the tire. I know you can get away with some I was just wondering what the dana 60's would be like.

But as far as being legal...you could def make bigger flares. I dont think the 3" things considered much...didnt some tj's come factory with those big gnarly things that looked goofy?

You can do it and be legal, depends on the shop/mechanic though, because most guys won't want to put a sticker on some random guys lifted junk. Fender flares cannot exceed 3", unless that is how it came from the factory. However, by definition, a fender flare is a device used to block water/debris from hitting other motorists/yourself, but is removable(ie: held on with bolts, rivets, double sided tape ect). So, to be legal, you would want no fender flares, but wide *** fenders....best way to do it, flat flares made from metal that Weld onto the fenders (and obviously for strength purposes, the uni body as well)

can you give me any recommendations on flat flares? I was going to build tube flares....and just bend tube to the new shape of the cut well and then weld flat stock bent to the tube and then weld that to the body? I have the know how and resources...just wondering how everybody does it! I have seen some with flare mounted to a plate and then the plate is bolted on, but im worried it would rust underneath it...
Any advice is appreciated!
