My fender flares are the standard Xenons which are made for SRW Dodges. I bought them off the internet on Ebay for about $280.
Here is the vender I bought mine from.
The reason I went with the Xenon's is because that are more flexible and have 3M tape that hold the top of the flare to the fender. It does take at least 2 people, some time, a little shimming and alot of patients. The inside of the fender flare that is suppose to attach to the inside top of the wheel well. We had to add about 1/2" plastic shim, then installed the bolt through the fender flare, through the shim and then through the fender and attached the nut. Make sure you follow the instruction exactly for painting! This is very important.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Ramasaur if you do turn your truck into a SRW would you sell the spacers or keep them for another truck? And did you ever find the website that you got them from?

If I switch over to SRW I will be selling the spacers and the dually fenders. I cannot find my receipts for the spacers, but I believe I got the from Performance Wheel in CO.

I have a few stupid questions about spacers.
Do you have to have equal spacers on the front if you are running them in the back?
Who sells mag dually wheels?
What is the max tire size we can go on an 04 dually tire size without lifting the truck.
Does anyone manufacture a steel rim that is wider than the stock that will accept the stock wheel covers?
Thanks

Some answers to your Q's:
1. You don't and shouldn't have any type of spacer in the front w/ exception of the stock dually hub extender that is on every dually front end.
2. The only Co. right now is Eagle wheels (see my pics- rear duals) for 17inch
3. I have 285X70 (33X11.5) with 2" rear spacer
4. Nobody makes anything wider than the 6" wide dually wheel in a 17 inch....
Hope this helps

Ramasaur,
One more stupid question. Does the spacer in the rear go between the two rims or on the rear end and then you mount the rims. Also do you know what is the largest tire that will fit our stock rims without rubbing each other in the rear or the frame/suspension in the front. I am want to get away from the Goodyear tires and go with a Michelin or BFG. Thanks for the info.

I would think the spacer goes in between the inner and the outter. Cause if you put it on first then put both tires on all your doing is pushing BOTH tires out instead of the outter tire. Does that make sense. Kinda confusing.

I know it is a pretty stupid question but I didn't want to have a clearance problem on the back side between the body/frame and the new wider tires that I am going to put on there. It does make sense that one spacer will be needed betwwen the rims but is one also needed beween the rear and the rims as well.
