Looking to purchase flat fender flares & I need some recommendations on which would be best. I'm running 35's with 3 1/2 inch lift. Appreciate any help

 

Unless you are going bigger with the tires I wouldn't put flat fenders on. A jeep with more than 2.5" of lift and 35s looks kind of dumb with flat fenders. The fender opening is so big that 37s are about the minimum that looks good, 38s or 40s are even better.

As for the fender flares themselves though, ... I really like my Genright aluminum fender flares. Coverage is decent, tire clearance is fantastic, build quality is good, installation is kind of a pain in the ass. I installed rocksliders at the same time I did flat fenders, and had to put in 50 (yup, 50) nutzerts. I'm now a leading expert in nutzert installation technique, not something I was looking for. The aluminum flat fenders are about the same weight as the stock plastic flares, which is nice. Steel flares can be very heavy; Poison Spyder flares weigh 31 lbs each I believe.

 

Guess I'll have to go bigger tires too. I really like the flat fenders

 

Any suggestions on my upgrades?

 

Thanks. Appreciate the help!

 

Why don't you just cut down the stock fenders there's several write-ups on here. They look great IMO and you can do it cheap. You can always do the others if you're unhappy with them.

 

Thought about that too. I'm looking for others opinions now, I've been wanting to do something for about a year or so. I'm ready to get some now. Looking at some axle assemblies also.

Or are you looking for tubes?

 

I like the poison spyder & river rIders

 

There are lots of brands out there. I really wanted the genrights, but they were on a 6-month back order. As such I went with Warrior rears. There are at least 6 different brands of steel tube fenders.
Personally, check out the PureJeep ones.
