I'm running 33's with stock flares. They rub at full stuff only.

Once these tires wear out and I go to 35's I'll be cutting and folding, ditching the stock flairs.

i run the rustys steel flares , high dollar but offer the best protection. you push right off of trees w/ them & the rear rub rail saves a rear window blow out.

How was the fit/install on those? I know some of the companies that make metal flares dont contour the the quarter protection to match the curve in the quarter panel.

the fit is very good, has all the correct bends & curves. install is a bit of work timewise, but i did it w/o help, lots of measuring , clamping & drilling. but nothing really hateful about it.

I was happy with my Napier flat flares. Tons of uptravel room. And at a fraction opf the cost of Bushwackers.

with 32's. almost at full bump with just the daystar extended bumps at 4.75" lift.
