Post Need Help on flat fenders

I've been sitting here with my credit card in my hand trying to decide between the bushwackers and the xenon's. I look at the pictures and have both of them sitting in my shopping cart on 4wd.com as we speak. I'll look at the pictures and then go outside and stare at my jeep. I would like to hear the pros and cons of each. If I order the xenons it will be the wides,, and i wish the bushwackers came with extra coverage but they don't. My tires currently stick out past my fenders about 2 inches with 3.75 bs and 35x12.50's.

if your looking for the bushwacker flats, check out truckaddons.com. I got mine for $350 shipped and they have a 50$ mail in rebate now as well. I am going to be installing mine soon, and IMO think they are the best plastic flats available.

I'm stuck with the same problem I just can't decide which of the two to get but, I'm leaning toward the bushwacker just because everyone seems to like them.

bushwacker. I've heard the xenons sag and warp easily. And the bushwackers just look cooler

Xenon now ships some reinforcing material to help cancel the sag. That being said, I have Bushwacker flares, I love the fit, finish, look, marker lights, materials, ect ect ect.

Wow!!! I saw this and had to call them on this cause this was the cheapest price I've see. Well at first h said they were over 5 bills then I said that I heard different and he said $370 with free shipping plus I get the $50 rebate on top of that! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are back order but for that price I can afford to wait.

Well when I saw the price posted I got on truckaddons and looked at that price made up my mind. 397 shipped to my door that's with insurance. 4wd wanted 640 shipped. Backordered or not I placed my order. Can't beat that price
