Either cut the stockers or go metal... Poison Spyder, GenRight, Warrior, or River Raider.

I don't have flatties yet, but leaning toward chopping the stockers for the ghetto fix, and upgrading later to the Bushwackers if I hit the lottery.

You can't beat Xenon's, I had a rear sag just a bit after about a year. I called Xenon and they sent me a new set for the rear along with some braces that are now included with the rear flares. Customer service was excellent and I never had an issue after that.

i look forward to trying this theory out. I installed PSC over the weekend, the fronts tie into the upper frame rail and come with 2 braces (along the top and at the rear). I'm pretty confident a whack is going to do two things; distribute the force along the entire length of the flares, AND meet the frame rail and supports and lose.
