    What size tires? Backspacing on your rims? Wheel spacers?

    I'm in Tampa Florida. Do you think the 4" ones would have to much rise and lip?

    I thought the spindles put the wheels out further than that. But Glassworks would probably be best for what you got now. I would like to know if you order from them how it turns out because I need some from them too but have heard that ordering has been difficult lately. Is this still true for anyone that knows?

    No the lift spindles only stick out the tires 3/4" on each side. That makes nevermind hesitant on ordering glasswork if they are having some trouble

    If you pick up local Glassworks is fine. IMO they make the best looking fenders. I want to replace my rear fenders with Glassworks at some point, but I'm gonna have my carnal Anthony to pick them up for me this time :D I can say I have Glassworks front fenders and I got them in the mail but it took like 2 months and a "lost pair of fenders" :rolleyes:

    Search glassworks. I tried and waited 9 months and never got fenders and there are a hundred more similar stories of them promising to ship but never do.

    I went with trailer's glass. They make em for AP a nice mild 2" rise 2" flare. (glassworks 4" is too much for a non-long travel/pre runner setup) Fits my 35's perfect and I am happy with price, fit and finish. Oh and I had them in 1 weeks time.

    Here is one of many post:

    They have many complaints on the BBB and have an F rating.

    I am happy with them. I dont have a ton of experience with glass but these fit well in my opinion - is it custom show car finish? No. Is it good for a truck - yes :)

    I think it depends on how picky you are and if you or a body shop does the install. I think if I spent time or had a body shop fit them they can tweek and fit much better.

    shoot me a PM with your email ill send you pics.

    Pics sent but here are some for everyone else.

    Keep in mind I installed myself (did zero fitting other than drilling the mount holes) and take them off often so alignment isn't perfect and I could get em better. I also spray painted them. Since my truck is fairly dedicated off road perfect finish isn't a priority for now.

    I urge you to use anyone but Tim at glassworks. The guy truly is a liar and unfortunately (although people say his product is good) he has no clue how to run a business. Unless your bringing in a TT car for custom body work he can care less about selling $400 fenders.

    If I do glass again it would be McNeil's, CSjumper has a set that fit well.

    I love the look of my fiberwerx but 6" is too much for what you are running. I would even consider Trailer products 3"

    Yes I looked at everyone - but no one made a "mild" flare and rise - the trailer products one has the least at a 3" flare 2" rise (if I had my wishes it would be a 1-2" flare and 2" rise)

    This is perfect for the guy who just need to make room for 35's and doesn't want to spend the time to cut their fenders and still not get full width coverage. Anything with more flare is really for a long travel/pre-runner setup IMO

    good to know (they should put it on their site, i never saw it there) - maybe i got lucky on a good set, i am more than happy with the TP fit n finish.
