Like Josh said... The cut outs stick out the farthest at 4". OEM ones wont really do anything as far as keeping rocks from hitting your truck and I think they only go out maybe 1/2"

My name is josh also... Well w/e I new i was going to get rock chips but the flares should help some cus the body of the truck will be in farther than the flares and same with the rockers and the rockers are color matched lined now and the flares will be also so i am hoping that takes most of the rocks...

Well I got the OEM flares and I mean if you want to add them to mix up the colors on your truck or something some trim or whatever then for sure go with em, but as far as coverage or helping with rock chips I don't see it helping you much. I still get rock chips with my setup and the truck is FILTHY in the winter or rain due to the tires sticking out.

This is with only 35x12.5 on an 9" wide run with 5" backspacing, the tires stick out about 1-2" tops at the top which is more than enough for me, and the flares are probably 3/4" at the most of coverage, which I just don't see doing much protection with your setup.

Looks great and a nice stance. I was just curious if your truck is really sitting at 8". Seems like it is quite a bit lower?

I don't know if you could actually consider those flares at all. I think those are more like accent pieces compared to actual flares.. LOL

What's with the bucket. When I had stacks on my humming I grilled a tiny hole right at the bottom of the stack where it 90 to the regular exhaust. This let the water drain out. The time and tires look nice I loved them tires when I had them on mine. I got 87 k out of them too.

07_powerstroke · Nov 11, 2011

The pics make it look different the truck looks 10x better in real life... But yea it is a 7in icon coil and a 1in tei spacer. I have a hole in the 90* bend but the truck gets driven maybe 1 or 2 days a month so i just would rather put a bucket on it...

SouthFlstrokin' · Nov 11, 2011

So what do you daily drive then?

Here these pics my mom just sent me truck looks a little better/ higher here. Layson is your hydro assist make your steering almost to touchy going 60-80mph?

Keanoknick · Nov 12, 2011

I guess I'm the only one, but I can't stand the tires sticking out that far! Looks like a larger version of the mini trucks the Vato's used to drive when I lived in Phoenix.

Other than them sticking out that far, the truck looks really good.

07_powerstroke · Nov 12, 2011

Thanks i really wanted the tonka look! Now i just need yellow paint LOL

Yeah I agree, I like the look of a meaty tire but that to me is a little too far.

Haters...LOL I wouldnt have this set up if the truck was a dd

FINALLY!!! Glad someone understands what I am getting at lol, almost pains me to see them refered to as flares, I prefer to call them trim pieces or accents like you say.

derrick36 · Nov 12, 2011

Thank you for not buying rims that are wider than the tires.

Great looking truck.
