Quick question about OEM fender flares
i've had my new rims/tires on for a few months now, and cleaning spray off of the side of the truck is getting to be a pain in my butt. i have an XLT, so i dont have any fender flares stock. my question is, how far do the OEM flares come out off the fender? i only need about 1/4 - 1/2 inch to keep the spray down... and im hoping the factory flares will give me that much. the lariat ones are the ones i'm looking for, so i can PTM, correct?

Yea, the Lariat flares should do what you want. FYI it'll probably run you around $500 for this. I think the flares themselves are around 70 bucks a piece then to have them sprayed will probably run around 50 a piece. I had checked into this a while back and after getting the price's decided it could wait.

Mounting the flares is an easy process with two people. I did have to drill into my fender lip, but not into the outsides of the fenders. I just made sure that my holes were drilled a little further inwards to make the entire flare fit real snug and my push pins were set tight. Before you start just remove all the pins that mount in the side of the fender while marking your holes to make sure you have a nice tight fit and mark, then drill. Worst case if you mess up, is purchase some Bushwackers . Mine are factory FX4 flares BTW.
