Bushwacker Flares, yes or no??

ya know i love the look of buchwackers on lifted trucks only. i just saw a chevy this morning on my way to work. bone stock, just aftermarket flares. looked stupid; i have a 4wd level kit on my truck with my 33's on now and i dont think mine would look good even sitting a cpl inches higher than a stock 4wd f150. to each their own. just my opinion. but even when i do lift my rig, i still cant find it in me to spend 400+ dollars on 4 pcs of plastic trim.

If your truck's just leveled I'd say don't get them.

Your factory flares look great... Bushwacker Flares on leveled trucks looks great too if the truck has the right color scheme...



I like mine...

That looks great!

I would stick with that and put the 400+ somewhere else for sure!

Truck looks beautiful love the grille too I like the wider spaced in it rather than the smaller ones you see a lot

That looks PERFECT in my opinion, The Bushwacker flairs look great on the right truck and color scheme (like the red one). In the end, it's what makes you happy!!
