Default Fender Flares

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Bushwacker, ATS, and this brand?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...45523898QQrdZ1

I am very leery of the cheaper ones. It is one of those deals where it seems to good to be true. And we all know where that usually goes, down the toilet.

If you can let me know your experiences with these products. I have got to do something or I am going to be repainting a truck.
I already know that I want something that sticks out like the Extend A Fender flares. Thanks for any advice you might have.

Well I went with the Bushwackers. I like them. Only problem is as soon as the wife saw the truck she said it needed bigger tires now. Damn, I just spent $1100 for the ones that are on there now. I basically told her that it can wait, if I spend that much money it is going to be for tranny upgrades. What do you guys think?

The only flares I've looked into are the Bushwackers. I want to get the pocket flares. On the Dodge, I really need them in the front, but not so much in the back. My concern is how the flares will emphasize the distance that the tires sit inside/outside the actual body lines.

Yep , it is hard to tell in the picat that angle, but the tires are pretty far under there. But it sure doesn't throw rocks up the body anymore.

ya done mike. those look really good on there. i'll add that IMHO i'd keep them black. i think with the bumper trim, stripe color and other trim items the stripes work really nice in black.

Looks good but I think your wife is right about the tires.
