Anyone running fender flares yet? Need pics...

Looking for pictures of anyone's '03 with fender flares. I have seen a few of the MFG's websites, but their pictures are just too vague. Need some profile shots, straight from the front and rear, and some of the lower quarter panel area to see how much "extended" coverage they provide where it counts the most. Thanks to any and all!!

Re:Anyone running fender flares yet? Need pics...

As far as I know, the Bushwacker Cut-Out flares aren't available for ANY Dodge truck (newer than a 93 anyway). I wish they did make them for the 2003's because I would love to see them on a new HD. You do need to trim your fenders to put them on but they give you more tire clearance without a lift.

Unfortunately I've only ever seen them on a Ford SD, does anyone know if they plan to make them for a new Dodge?

Cool, those are new! 8) I would have preferred true cut outs for more tire clearance but those should look good when painted.

Those aren't half bad. I don't get it though...how does it add 2 inches of tire clearance w/ out cutting the fenders, or otherwise modifying something? ???

They are speaking of width. Some states have laws regarding the amount of tire that can be exposed from the side of the vehicle. So the people in those states who want to run wide tires with a positive offset must have flares that cover the tire.

I want running boards on steroids...steel with tread plate on top...wheel to wheel...something to keep the mud down and offer bumper car type protection. :

I have fender flares on my SRW 3500. Go to the members Photos, and look on the 2nd page for Cat Cracker. I'll try to post some clearer pics of the flares, and look up the brand.<br><br> Cat Cracker
