    Hey guys. So I just installed Bushwhacker pocket style fender flares on my 2010 DCSB, and the look combined with the excess rubbing with my 33's just isn't doing it for me. My questions are: can Injust run the truck without fender flares? I don't particularly like the stock ones either. If that's possible, are there any sort of plug kits available to plug the stock fender clip holes? Any advice is much appreciated.

    Some do run no fender flares, might be a link in this thread to the plugs you want for the holes.

    0605212034.jpg I cut my factory flares front and rear, but just be aware to get any gains you have to actually cut the metal fender as well

    Yeah I'm hoping to not have to do that as I don't have the tools, time, or knowledge. The hunt continues

    Pretty much bolt washer and nut on the inside. There is a thread on here dedicated to no fenders

    Much appreciated man. Will most likely be going this route as I haven't seen any better suggestions/solutions.
