Default Bushwacker Flat Style Flares

I want to put Bushwacker Flat Style Flares on a Rubi with 33's instead of lifting it. I can do the install myself, unlike a lift. I like this idea also because I dont have to be concerned about all the little items that go along with even a BB. Im not mechanical and only do minor off roading. Any thoughts or pics of anyone who has done this?

it's definitely a good idea and honestly, you can practically run 35's with them.

I was thinking the same thing. Will this still work on the 2 doors? I have 1.75 spacers and then I was going to a wide 34 with the flat fenders.

You should be fine with that configuration.

I have the BB right now and have the flat fenders in my garage to install. I am debating on whether to run 35's and remove my BB or do chromoly axles and c gussets and run 37's.

I am doing the same, keeping it low at a 2" lift on 35's. The BW flares look factory.

On 2nd thought, I am going to keep my tires now and see how it goes before investing in what I need to run 37's. I figure I will be ready for tires either way in the next year or so. I don't want to give up 2.5" of clearence.
