Long Travel BS Thread

@VolcomTacoma I never had the Duraflex fenders I looked into them but decided against it due to conflicts with my supplier...

 

Hate to let you down, but I couldn't give two fucks

 

Man... stuff a V8 or a diesel in there and that's the stuff dreams are made of... nice truck.

 

Oh, thought you were rocking them and had a thread about it a while back.

 

For all it's worth, my brother bought his Ranger with glass already and they were those Duraflex ones. With the heat they almost seemed sad and tired, also IIRC the ones he had were advertised as 4" but were actually around 2". I will say, they are extremely flexible and very forgiving compared to fiberglass.

 

Does anyone know if the McNeil 2" fenders would work with a 3.5" kit and 35's?

 

Check the 35's w/ 3" lift thread a few guys got them already ...but they don't cover 35's on stock width arms fully from what I have seen so with a 3.5" kit you're going to need 4" - 6" flare.

Edit - they are not cut high enough to clear a 35 with anything but stock travel either.

 

Thats what i've been finding over the last hour or so researching.. Im being talked into a 3.5" kit versus 2" but IMO 4" front fenders and stock rears just doesn't look right, was hoping I could get away with 2" fenders but I don't think that'll happen.

 

So your only option here is to LT the front and rear at the same time then and get corresponding glass for both.

 

That or go with a +2" LT kit and not need glass

 

And still limit your travel so you don't blow out your stock fenders. Face it man, you're gonna have to rock some glass if you wanna stuff 35s and LT

 

I am not of fan of stock rears with LT front glass either and you have the same prob as me with the camper shell vs rear glass bedsides. It can be done but the shell just looks funny IMO sitting on top of flared bedsides and you do have to cut off the entire overlap of the shell to turn it into a " sit on top " style.

With a +2 you just trim the OE fenders and flares back to just 4" and it clears just fine :

 

Wait for it...

 

Went on a diet and sold the canopy and bed drawers, just haven't updated that picture yet.

Thats what I plan on doing with a +2 kit is trimming the stock fenders.

 

That looks sweet

 

Oh I thought you still had the expo set up too, our trucks were twins from different Mother's. If you didn't already have plate bumpers that fit your stock fenders I would be cheering you on toward +3.5 too...no reason you can't really it's just that your front and rear glass will be 4" wider than your plate bumpers. I went through all the same debates.

I'm sure as soon as everyone gets off of work and jumps on TW the will start with everyone telling is me how useless and stupid my +2 kit is but I just put my fingers in my ears and repeat " their words can't hurt me " over and over again until I fall asleep in the fetal position

 

Is that your truck? @Evenflow

 

Yup, That's me

 

Dream truck right there
