Would bushwacker pocket flares be too big?

I need to get some wider fender flares for my Toyos. I have the stock Lariat fender flares, and althought I like the way the tires stick out a big, I hate the mess it throws all over the truck.....based on the pic below would the pocket fender flares be too wide? The bushwacker website says 2" of coverage, so I think i should be fine....I just dont want to get these monster fender flares that dwarf my tires.

I think they would be to big. An oem aftermarket fender flare might be better. Try EGR. Im in the same boat as you. Let us know what you decide to get.

I think that the pocket style flare is going to look way too big on your truck. IMO, the pocket styles only look good when running 6"+ of lift and 37's. Otherwise they over power the looks of the truck and make the tires look really small.

I would say leave your truck the way it is, and just wash the truck 2-3 times a week.

Thanks guys....I kinda thought they might be too big. I really want some extra protection though. I would have run these tires in the winter, but I swapped them out for my stockers cause I didnt want the salt all over the side of the truck. I live in a condo, so washing my truck several times a week is near impossible. I will keep looking...

they would make your tires look WAY small, sometimes I think they make my 37's look small, but then so does 10" of lift.... shoulda,coulda,woulda got 38's mine still sling crap everwhere b/c they stick out an inch past the flares still, but that is how i planned it. I dont like the tucked in look.

you might look at the xenon flares they are subtle, the egr's look out of place to me.
