I say go bushwacker. I love the steel look but the weight you add isnt worth it. Plus you get oem coverage on the BW. Here in the Appalachian's you NEED full coverage. To much muck flying aorund everywhere.

I chopped my fenders and have had very favorable results. Get asked alot who makes them... Like Eddie said, the stocks will flex and move and cause no furthur damage unlike other more ridgid versions. The only thing you really are giving up is the clearance light on the fender which in some states you can get away with.

Default Xenon

I wanted the bushwackers but was worried they wouldnt cover my tires enough
The wide xenon's are great. and they are really flexible.
They perfectly cover the 8" wide wheel with 3.75 bs and the swampers

Plan, I have the standard OME lift (not long travel); I'm running substantially smaller tires. I thought you were on 35s. Do KM2s run small for their given size? My 33 inch KM2s are an honest 32".

Did you do Escalator? I'm going to try to tackle both obstacles this time, headed back in October.

I watched a TJ on 33s with an open front diff go up smoothly, first time. He and his spotter had obviously been there before. The threadlike line between Escalator success and body damage is precariously thin. I've watched every YouTube video I can find on that obstacle and I think I know where to point the front end in the dangerous second bowl. We shall see.

Good talking with you Plan, now back to normal programming.

Trimming the factory is cheaper and if you don't like the way you cut them then go buy some flat ones.Attachment 63309Attachment 63310Attachment 63311Attachment 63312
