I just ordered some of the flat flares. I was on the fence for a while about the cut outs and the flats but I think the flats will be the best. They are just less bulky. And IMO they look cooler. But its all personal prefrence because as was stated previously, they basically cover the same amount.

Where did you get the fenders from and how much did they run you?

Those looks good. Has anyone tried the Pacer flexy flares? I was thinking of these http://www.jegs.com/i/Pacer-Performa...rentProductId=

Bushwhacker cut outs work wonders in terms of keeping mud from flying everywhere, I wheeled Saturday and I could have my window down most of the time I was out

Per the Bushwacker site and FF instructions...No.

I really like the look of these. I have the cut and fold done. It looks like I wouldn't be able to use these since the rear has been folded, am I correct?

How do you feel about the huge amount of new open space? Does it make the tires look too small? I have a 4" lift on 31" tires and considering the Bushwacker Flat Flares.

Thanks,

Thanks,
i think it's sweet, keep your center of gravity low and gain suspension travel. sounds like a win win to me. my 33's can get a little fender flare happy when i remove my swaybar so i had to install bumpstops. but i figure im gonna gain a ton of travel when i make the switch. you should be able to switch to 33's with a 4" lift.
