Another vote for Bushwackers.

We've had Xenons, Bushwackers, and trimmed stock flares on our JKs, and the Bushwackers have held up the best.

Just picked up my bushwacker from body shop today, $480 to paint glossy black. Tried doing it myself but what a PITA. came out great, now gotta find time to install.

Are the Bushwackers the same width as the stock fenders?

I've never heard of them sagging. I got mine used. Guy before me had them on his JK for a few years, looked as good as new. Look great on mine, I don't see any sagging.

And I was leaning towards the Zenons since they are wider for coverage. Too bad the wider Bushwackers are those pocket style & step-downs that don't appeal to me.

I like my xenon flares. I went with 1.5" wider models.

Honestly these look just like my Bushwackers but these looks smooth where mine are textured
