Default Which Flat Flares are the best

I am looking to add some flares to jeep to help clear some new tires. I am not wanting to chop my current flares, I am torn between the Pure Jeep, GenRight, Poison Spyder or possibly going plastic with the Bushwackers.

If you have pics with 38 or larger l would love to see them.

If you have a preference tell me why, I won't be standing on my fenders any time soon, but I do want them to keep the mud off and the center of gravity down by stuffing my tires up under some flat flares.

If there is an option I am not considering let me know. I want to do it once and be done.

Thanks,
Huck

I'm definitely looking to get some flat flares in the near future and Poison Spyder are the only I will consider. They look the best by far in my opinion

Cut your stock ones, they are the best bang for your buck, and they look pretty freakin good if you spend some time on them.

I'd also recommend the Xenon's if you go plastic. They're made of urethane, as opposed to the more brittle plastic of the Bushwacker or stockers - and I've seen them completely fold over themselves and pop back into place afterward.

But if you go metal - Poison Spyder (steel or the new aluminum ones that are coming out soon), Metalcloak, River Raider, Genright, etc. All good companies that you can't go wrong with.

I vote for warrior and GenRight!


PS is a great brand too. I run them on my TJ.


Look at pics and go with what you like. The prices vary ALOT!
