Here it is with freshly installed flares!

At the very last minute, I asked the paint place to shoot them in white. Very wishy washy I know but I am very happy with the outcome. Took me about 4 hours to install them properly. I really like how they look.

This is the first time that I have owned big trucks that I have one that is 100% by the book legal! Cool! She still needs some mud flaps and then that is it! No more fix it tickets or near miss failed inspections!

Re: Here it is with freshly installed flares!

Very nice, i like the flares, in fact the whole color combo looks great, now just get some flat black on the driveline and axels - you'll be good to go. Nice job

Re: Here it is with freshly installed flares!

are you still moving to PA? 3" max on the wheel flare and the tire has to be under it... just a headsup...

looks good...

Re: Here it is with freshly installed flares!

That is where I am moving, yup. The flares are about 1.5" and the tires fit with some room to spare, so I should be good to go. Any other PA laws I should pay attention to?

Re: Here it is with freshly installed flares!

I don't know the rest of the lift laws but my wife was stopped for window tint on our front side windows... They gave her a warning... Inspections are once a year and plates are about $60 each year...

Re: Here it is with freshly installed flares!

Even though I suggested painting them gray, that does look good. Good luck with the rock chips....
