    So what products are you guys using for flares? Do the bushwacker 4x4 extend a flares fit our 2wd trucks?

    Many people use the 4wd fenders. direct bolt on, smooth look. I think the bushwacker flares are made for the 4wd fenders. That's what all the fitment details tell me.

    Yes it is listed for 4wd only but the fender lines look similar enough that I can't see why they wouldn't fit. I just figured someone would have done it already. The 4wd fenders are certainly an option but it doesn't help with the box unless I change the whole thing and up here in Canada finding a decent 4wd box would be next to impossible.

    Cheers,

    Steve

    if the wheel arches are a different size between 2wd and 4wd, it could be an issue that requires cutting.

    only thing is with his items, they do not fit over the existing panels. you would need to still cut away the skin of the bed and replace them with his pieces, if i understood the pm's i had with him a few months back.
