Fender flare or not to fender flare. That is the question

What are yall's opinions on fender flares? Do you run with or without or with aftermarket ones?
Post your pics!

 

If your truck still looks like that first pic on your build thread I wouldn’t touch those OE flares. just my .02

 

Classy build.

 

Alot of people trim their stock flares. Typically when running larger tires with lifts around 3".. not sure if you gain any clearance with bushwackers or not. They do stick out further if you're running wider tires or messed around with your offset.
Are you attempting to gain tire clearance or just after aesthetics?

 

Thanks! I might be trimming them to fit some bigger tires. I like how the tires stick out a little further past the body with them off but also like the OEM look.

 

Ah. In that case I vote

 

My bedsides have gotten pretty chipped up from running larger tires. My rock sliders have been stone shot to the primer as well. Something to keep in mind running tires that extend past your fenders..

 

Yes
No
Aftermarket

 

Also, if you trim your fenders you may be letting more debris get to your intake ( if it's still in the stock location.. )
if you're messing with your fenders, this may lead you to a snorkel. To keep the nasty out of your intake.. something to consider if you're gunna trim!

 

What bumpers are you running sacrifice?

 

Pelfreybilt front (can find similar through BAMF now)
Custom rear i made (minimal bumper if you even want to call it that)

 

Ahh Pelfrey.. so nice!

 

Looks like there's no bumper out back after looking closer!
