It is not hard but very time consuming. Take your time and do it right. Plan on about 6 hours.

They were slivered today. I put the fronts on tonight. Nice product just a little PIA to install. Taking your time is the key.

If plan on reusing your liners in the front be extra careful while cutting them. I wasn't and jacked em up. You can only see my mistake if you stick your head between the tire and the fender but it still pisses me off that I wasn't more patient.

Don't mean to rob the thread, but does anyone know if these bushwackers will work with the ARB snorkel?

The ARB safari snorkel should work with the flat flares considering they follow the same contour lines as the factory flares.

You can see where the snorkel would go.
