Bushwacker extend a fender flares

So was wondering if anyone has these and how much they paid for them?

More importantly I need a favor....
If you do have them could someone please snap a few photos from up under the fender so I can see how thick they are and how exactly it works with the stock fender. I would really appreciate it!


The more pictures the better I am trying to get an idea of coverage, etc...
And if you have a white truck with white extend a fenders I would like to see how it looks from a normal view also!

Here are a couple of shots of them on my truck. I don't have any shots from under the fender, but they come straight out from the stock wheel well. In other words, you lose no tire clearance in the wheel well as a result of installing the flares if that is your question.





I also have an album of the install, including what the fenders look like once you remove the stock flares. Removing the stock flares is the toughest part of the install. Here is the link to my gallery if you are interested http://s499.photobucket.com/albums/r...ker%20Install/

i think those would look weird on your truck austin, a little too big of a fender flare for a truck with 22's IMO

It's so I can tuck my 22's. The current offset sits flush or even alittle outside of my current fenders. If I have the bushwackers then I could cut some of the fender so it will tuck or maybe not have to cut anything to make them tuck. But I AM getting bags for sure. So its either add the fenders or buy completely different rims or the same rims with a different offset. I have a photoshop with these fenders and it bagged on the ground and I think it looks good. Thats why I NEED pics of underneath the fender to see if I would have to cut anything or if my 22's with the offset I have would tuck perfectly.

You generally cannot cut the fender lips off to make room for clearance. The bushwackers bolt to those lips. See Install link.... http://www.bushwacker.com/Instructions/20926_r1.pdf

those fender flares just bolt on top of the stock fenders, if you really wanna tuck your current rims then youll probably have to get your fenders rolled, oh yeah were getting a house in spring not too far from you i think?

Thanks Taylor i'd appreciate it. Let me know what you hear.

expedition4x4 - Your talking about the mounting pads? I checked into that also and the guy that does it can only take off like an 1" and I would need about 2" which wouldnt be safe and he wouldnt do so thats out of the question.
