New Bushwacker Flat Flares Installed
I just got a set of the new bushwacker flat style fender flares put on my Jeep. It now has a 5 inch lift, 31s, Mickey Thompson Classic 2s with 3.75 backspacing 10 inches wide. It looks good with the flares, they are very strong and look great and I recommend them to anyone looking for more tire room and good looks. I have no doubt that I could now clear 33s with these wheels maybe even 35s.

Thanks guys, I got it stock and have spent tons of time getting it to where it is now, lots more on the list though. I'm 17 and i'm learning that Just Empty Every Pocket is true.

No i didn't cut prior to it. You have to use the stock top bolt holes for the original flares taking only about a quarter inch off the top of the fenders. The front and rear sides of the fender get cut about 1.5 inches, they probably wouldnt work if you have previously trimmed. I like those homemade ones they look sweet. I dont have any pics of cutting sorry. My mom was taking the pictures and she was all worried about me not doing it right and cutting wrong. I followed the 106 pictures from the directions and they turned out perfect! They were very detailed. Heres a couple more pics.

I have no doubt that you owuld clear 33's... I did on mine with .5" smaller lift and no cut-outs... But I cannot wait until i can get a set of these! They are next on my list....
They look great, cant wait to get mine!
