Default Which fenders?

I have trimmed my stock fenders and what I want. I want to get some flat fenders. I am either going psc alum or bushwacker. I like psc strength, however I am not sold on the weight or chance of body damage in a flop. The bushwackets are light and flex with contact,but not metal. What do yall think?

The bushwackers are not bad to install. Just take your time. I don't like steel because they don't give. All personal preference really.

Have you considered the Nemesis flares? They are aluminum.

I like the Poison Spyder JK Crusher Flares. They only weight 11lbs each. Little pricey but nice.

I think both the Poison Spider and the Nemesis are great choices. I have wheeled with dozens of rigs that run the Poison's and can say they are my favorite looking flare, probably compliments the lines of the JK best. However, the Nemesis flares I had the opportunity to see them everyday on the JK experience since the Nemesis rig was either in front of or behind me on the trail. Their flares will absolutely hold up to anything the Poison Spider's will handle. The Nemesis flares looks are starting to grow on me, maybe because at first I thought they were more trailer queen and didn't not consider them to be for serious offroading, but after a week on the trail with those guys I have now seen the light. Nemesis is a serious contender against Posion Spider, EVO, GenRight, Hanson, OR Fab, LOD etc. As for metal vs plastic flares....I don't get into that argument, when a jeep takes hit, I have seen both do their job and both not do their job. I know which one I prefer and its from personal experiences. Run what you are comfortable with.
