Frequently Asked Questions

How much wider do Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares make my truck's stance for larger tires?

Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares add approximately 2 inches of additional width coverage on each side of your truck, allowing you to run wider tires and wheels that extend beyond the factory fenders. These flares are designed to provide adequate coverage for aftermarket wheel and tire combinations that are up to 2 inches wider than stock. The flares are made from durable Duraliner material that resists impacts and UV damage while maintaining flexibility. They install using self-tapping screws or adhesive along the factory fender edge for a secure fit. The textured black finish matches most factory trim without needing paint.

Can I paint my Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares to match my truck's body color?

Yes, Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares can be painted to match your truck's factory body color for a more integrated appearance, though they come in a textured black finish from the factory. The Duraliner material requires proper preparation including cleaning, sanding with 400-grit sandpaper, and applying a flexible adhesion promoter before painting. We recommend using a flexible urethane paint or automotive-grade spray paint designed for plastic trim pieces. Leaving them in the textured black finish gives your truck a rugged off-road look that hides trail scratches well. Painted flares require more maintenance to prevent chipping and fading over time.

Will Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares fit my truck without removing the factory fenders?

Yes, Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares are designed as a direct bolt-on or adhesive-on accessory that mounts over your existing factory fenders without requiring any removal. The flares cover the outer edge of your stock fenders and extend outward to provide additional tire coverage. Installation typically takes about 1 to 2 hours per side using the included mounting hardware or 3M automotive-grade tape. The flares follow the existing body lines of your truck for a natural appearance. No cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications are needed for most vehicle applications.

Do Bushwacker flares provide enough tire coverage to stay legal after a suspension lift?

Yes, Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares are specifically designed to provide the additional tire coverage needed to stay legal after installing a suspension lift and wider wheels on your truck. These flares add approximately 2 inches of coverage beyond your factory fenders, which is typically enough to cover tires that stick out up to 1.5 inches past the stock sheet metal. Local laws require tires to be fully covered when viewed from above, and these flares help you meet that requirement. The Duraliner construction is flexible enough to resist cracking from brush impacts and temperature changes. They also help reduce spray and

What is the difference between Extend-A-Fender and Pocket Style Bushwacker flares?

The main difference between Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares and Pocket Style flares is the mounting method and appearance. Extend-A-Fender flares mount directly over your factory fenders without the need for drilling into the painted fender surface using either adhesive tape or self-tapping screws on the inner lip. Pocket Style flares require drilling through the outer fender panel and use visible bolt covers or pockets that give a more rugged, competition-style appearance. Extend-A-Fender flares provide a smoother, more integrated look while still adding the 2-inch coverage needed for wider tires. Both options are made from the same durable Duraliner material with UV-resistant
