    i'm thinking the all pooh front and ATO rear should be close. wont know til they come out though. i'll have to chop the rear ones for the high clearance.

    I removed the plastic fenders and then patched up the holes. I should have welded the holes up but instead I put bondo. I also cut the actual metal part of the fender up 3 inches. Then I put some bedliner material where the stock fenders used to be.

    I might go back and weld up the holes and then finish it off with line-x.

    You can see in this picture that but removing the stock fenders that the truck is also a little narrower. Now the tires and front and rear bumper can take the hits instead of the body and plastic fenders.

    bedliner? wow what a concept
    thats great, I might have to do that!
    I suppose leaving the holes with bondo allow you to reuse them later if a flare product comes out that uses them.......

    Wow, I'm impressed. Just to be clear, besides these sticking out further, do they provide additional clearance? Last question. Do they require cutting the stock fender (I'm okay with this)?

    These are not cut out fender flares so there is no cutting of the fenders required. We did remove a little material from the inner lip of the front fender flares where they are known to rub (lower rear section) so they should be somewhat better than untrimmed stock flares in that respect.

    hopefully soon. waiting on a call from Blake as to when they'll ship. my fronts will be easy, but the rears will require me chopping off a foot or so due to the rear bumper. also need to drop down the all pooh front bumper a bit too. hopefully everything will go smoothly.
