i love this setup. i have the same truck as unbroken and getting ready anyway too pull the tigger. I've been back and forth on deciding on wheels from 22x10 mavericks to 22x10 forces. but forces seem too need a lot of attention. i really love this bmf 22x10.5 you guys are running but I'm scared ill hit the bottom of my cab corner. did you have too trim your flares you added?

Well the tires were rubbing the back corner of the fender before I installed the pmf 3 link. The arms added caster which also pushed the axle forward to recenter it in the wheel well. I trimmed the front bumper bracket, spaced the bumper 1/4", and pulled the inner liner back a little with some zip ties. But it has not rubbed at all after that, with or without flares installed.

The lift caused the truck to lose caster and actually moved the axle closer to the cab. Everyone doesn't have issues with rubbing on the back of the fender but mine rubbed before the 3 link

Picked up a set of painted oem flares off eBay and figured I'd show them off. I think it gives it a clean look. Haven't seen many people put them on monotone trucks. Gives a little coverage and still retaining a little "bro stance"....

They don't come painted. Atleast my color didn't. Set I got off eBay came off a 2016 like new. Check eBay . Seller I got them from had 2 other colors last week. Price on a new oem set not painted is like $500 then you have to paint them.

I had my factory flairs off for bit when I was getting them repainted and really didn't like the truck with out them. It gives the truck just little more shape along with the added coverage. I got flair's painted 2 tone to match the bottom of my KR and the white top part instead of being all gold.
