I searched and didnt come up with anything. How much of a difference are these two as far are tire cleance. Which one is more. Thanks
I'd say the same about BW's. We each have our own preference, so don't let someone's opinion about how something looks decide it for you. Nice thing about TJ flares is that you can actually meet up a tree or rock and walk away with the flare still intact, just with a few scratches or gouges in the plastic. meet that same rock or tree with a BW and you get to buy a whole new flare.

I guess I am the only one who wants JK flares? Of course I already have the JK bumper on thefront.
I personally don't like the TJ fronts. The balance (visually) is all wrong to me. But I am an architect so these things matter way more to me than most. The rears seem good all the way around.
The bushwackers new do seem to be a rip off though. Just molded plastic.

I'm with no rdplz. I dig the look of the TJ flares. Of course, that's all personal preference. Plus, if you somehow break a TJ flare, a replacement will be like $30. If you break a Bushwacker, you're lookin at over $100

I am not looking for cost, opinions on aesthetics, and or durablitly. Not to be rude but I am looking to see if any know which fender flare give more tire clearance.
