    bushwacker states they give up to 1.75" of tire coverage, however this is after removing the oem ones of course. i'd estimate about 1/2 to 3/4" over stock. incidentally, keep the box they come in. i sold my oem flares (here at tw) and had to fabricate one from cardboard to ship 'em out in, lol.

    he estimates 2.5-3" of total coverage, but mine appear to me more towards the 1.5" over stock.

    Different angles, but you get the idea. Look how much more the tires stick out on the first one.

    No fair. You're way too close to the and centered on the truck in the second pic.

    :D I'm a photographer so it kinda helps.

    But yeah, I can take a good matching photo sometime if you'd like to see the exact difference.

    What kind of fenders are those? My tires stick out about as much and I am in desperate need of some new fenders so I can off road again!

    Do you get full travel out of your tires with them on? My tires stuck out about as far as your did before the bushwackers, and they hit the stock fender after about 5 inches of travel. I'm going to tear the damn things off one of these days of I don't replace them. Just wondering how you (and everyone else) decides how much of an extra flare they need (both high and wide).

    They really don't provide any additional travel space height-wise...but I did pop the front clip off where it meets the small bumper piece once when I hit my bumpstops. I don't recommend these for anything other than mud protection and looks...not really ideal for wheeling when you need travel.

    I'd rather just go with glass.

    Anyone have additional pictures of these type of flares on black access cabs? Mines a 2009 access cap and I was curious as to how they match the factory color and if it looks ok.

    I see a couple pictures in this thread already, but my work does tend to randomly block images so I may have missed a few.
