Went to the junkyard and got 4 flares for free so i came home and put them on.

What shocks are you running with your lift? I was looking at 33's but I'd have to regear or something. I also doubt 33's would fit on a 4.5 RC..But all in all, cool flares.

You must not have 33's otherwise you would eat those things up. I have 4.5" lift and I manage to rip the heck out of them on the trail when I flex out. A reason why I want 32's or 31's or more lift or Bushwackers. hahaha always and endless list.
