fender flares

i just put a larger set of tires under my truck, and have a bit of a rubbing problem. i love the look of the truck, and dont wont to change the tire size. its all ready got 6" of suspension, and 3" of body. the tires rub a bit on the bottom of the stock fender trim, or fender flare as some call it, when the truck gets in a bit of a twist. i was considering a set of fender flares. will these help with my rubbing problems? and if so, which brand/style should i go with??? thanks for any help!!!

this is where it is rubbing

they will allow you to trim more metal and make it look good but just bolting them on wont give you more clearance

so if i was to trim the sheet metal back, and then bolt them into place, it would give me more room??? i had a 77 f250 i put them on, a while back, and we had to trim about 2.5 inches off before bolting them on, i didnt know if the fender flares on the newer trucks were put on in the same fashion or not.

thats the general idea with bushwackers. all the jeeps i installed them on requires a bit of trimming
