Default Flat fender flares on stock suspension?

Anybody have any pics? Looking for a set up with small or no lift with 33's and fender flares.

Here is my setup. I have 1.75" trail master pucks up front ($30 new) and nothing in the back. But with my 100lb bumper it probably only gave me 1" or so.

I know you said that you wanted 33's and the flats, but supposedly you can fit 35's with no lift if you're going flat fenders. Just a thought...

I had considered going this route, but didn't know if there would be too much space showing between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender with the 33's. Still haven't decided either way yet though.

Good luck either way you go, and be sure to post pics!

The space between the top of the tires and the fenders is not a bad thing.
More space, More room to stuff on the trail.

Thanks for the pics. I have a 2003 Rubi that I am keeping as my off road toy and I am about to get a 2010 or 2011 JK 4-door as my family has now grown(2 kiddos for my DD. As of now I am going with another Rubi with new Pure Jeep stubby front and back bumpers, 275 or 285 BFG's, haven't decided on the wheels yet(will be determined after color of Jeep) and flat fender flares(probably the new Pure Jeep ones). I guess I have all of sudden fallen in love with Pure Jeep stuff.

LJ,

Take a look at this free option before you spend extra money that could be used somewhere else!

yeah, the fender trim is a great option, I ran mine trimmed for a year before I decided I wanted to paint mine and messed them up and replaced them with the bushwackers. I'd reccomend getting at least the 285's. There is a lot more selection at that size. I've ran mine for a year and have been very happy with them.

Thanks for the link Pluke. I will definitely give that a shot before spending the money on new ones.
