Xenon makes a set as well, I can't decide between the two, both are excellent products. I just wish Bushwhacker made Cutout Fender flares for or trucks, I love that look (but they only make them for F*rds and very few others) :'(

IMHO the bushwackers stick out to far. I tried them and sent them back. I got the Zenons, and the look much better.

Actually, they're more like 35's, 34.25 inches to be exact. ;D

Hope to have pics tomorrow after I pick it up.

&lt;edit&gt; pics are up. Page 20 of members photos. If they don't show the flares good enough, I can be persuaded to snap another one.

Re:Fender Flares - Info please!

I've got the Warn 4X4 flares. The fit is alright, not the greatest, but I get lots of compliments on the look. Can attach a pic later if you like.
