I have the wide Xenon's. I didn't like them initially. I kept breaking them went through 2 sets hitting trees, rocks, or falling on the side. This latest set, bought maybe a year ago are a lot more flexible, they each have been bent flat without breaking. So they are doing better now. So, I can't comment on the BW. But the Xenons work well for my rig.

Xenon or Bushwacker
I picked up a used set of wides of a forum member cheap they sag alittle but I'm very happy with them
They didn't come with allthe mounting hardware so we used zipties and they worked out great! Highly suggest them if u lose some bolts plus I figure when I whack them off a tree the zipties will just break rather then cause body damage

Saving up here as I will be taking advantage of the discount and free shipping of the Bushwackers before the end of the month. I can't wait and will be posting pics asap once they are on.

Not only did the 4WP guy NOT impose the 15% that their fine print now says they do on ALL returned orders, he found the bushwackers i wanted for the same discounted price as I had purchased the xenons for....$467. On top of that, I will get another $50 from the aforementioned rebate from bw. It was a good day!
Now I just have to wait 2 weeks for delivery.
07RubiSteve....thanks for the pics. They sold me.

I have seen GeeBee's short Xenons and they are nice too......Both fenders are good, Xenon seemed to correct the sagging issue...IMO, I just like the BW's better....the finish and quality looks factory....all with factory fender coverage

2. Yes, at first I actually got the x's in part because I wanted to get away from factory look. But on further thought I realized I would have to get new bumpers to match sooner than my summer budget would allow. With the wackers everything will match nicely.

I was under the impression from the boards that Xenon had corrected their sag issue (mostly with the 1.5" wider versions and not a narrow problem) with the inclusion of a bracket.
Is sag still a problem with the Xenons? I guess I'm going to find out because I have a set of the narrows on the way to San Antonio...
Wish me luck...

[QUOTE=Reds black JK;1732736]Depending on your backspacing is how far they will stick out. But actually no they will not cover. My 37x12 stick out with 4.75" of backspacing. See pics. The rear Bushwackers are 5 1/4" wide and the front are 10" wide at front and taper to 8" (because the hood tapers).
