Are the Bushwacker "Pocket" and "Extend-A-Fender" flares the same except for the "Pocket" flares having the little bolt head extrusions on them?
Yeah I have the Fabtech 6" lift with the Fabtech 5" lift blocks in the rear.

I'm pretty sure that the posket flares and extend-a-flares are the same except the extend-a-flares are smooth.

Yeah they were the matte black before painting. The painting cost $225 and total for everything including installation was right at $800.

Those look great. I thought I had made my mind up to get the pockets now I am thinking off going smooth. Let me know how they do with the minor road crap, I can never keep my truck clean for any length of time with wheels and tires.

The flares look great. Thinking about some camo flares for my truck in a few months.

Looks good..... But if paint was $225 why the hell would you spend another $575 to install them? for over 500 i'd be in the garage trying to install myself

No problem, I know you're just trying to get an idea what your truck would look like. I wish I could have seen these on someone else's truck before I got them, that would have only confirmed my decision to get them.

Exactly. Cost of the flares, install and tax accounted for the other $575.

Thats not too bad, what was the cost of just the install if you don't mind me asking?

Install was $65 and it took the shop about an hour to do the job. To me it was worth it because I know they're installed right.
