Pocket Flares Installed

Well I ordered my Bushwacker Pocket Flares last Friday. They came in on Monday, went to the shop for painting and got installed last night. I debated whether to do this mod or not, but now I can honsetly say that I am glad I did this. They look great IMO! For anyone else debating whether to do fender flares I would highly recommend it, especially if those tires stick out past the fenderwall like mine did.

The truck is dirty because it's rained every day since I got back from Tenn and I haven't had the opportunity to wash/detail it.

Enjoy! More pics in my gallery.

Those look awesome! I always wanted some for my old F150, but Bushwacker doesn't make them for the flare side trucks...I guess flares on a flare side would look pretty awful. Anyway, if I ever do a lift and get wider wheels, I will be getting a set of those for my SD for sure.

I think they look good, i am thinking of getting them myself. Would you mind taking a pic straight on from both front and behind, like down one side so I can see how much they actually stick out and cover the wheels sticking out.

Those look great! I'd like to try some on my truck but I don't know how they'd look if I ever do get to lower it some. I've been thinking about lowering mine just a little, not a whole lot.

You have 2 good shots in your gallarey showing how far yor tires stick out can you take the same shot with the flares. Truck looks great.

Looks good! I've always liked the look of the pocket style flares.

Those flares look good! Do you just have 6" lift in front and the 5" block in back (3" rear lift)?

Are the Bushwacker "Pocket" and "Extend-A-Fender" flares the same except for the "Pocket" flares having the little bolt head extrusions on them?

Looks very nice !! I assume they were matte(sp?) black before you had them painted? If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay to have them painted? I've been considering this mod for three years now, and after seeing how sharp it looks on your truck, I'm finally going to do it.
