OK, I'm wanting to install OEM fender flares and have to questions I've been trying to decide on.....

1) 1500 or 2500 OEM Fender Flares

2) Line-X them or Bright Silver painted to match my truck

Here's a picture of my truck, minus the Lund Bull Bar I have installed now. Also, a picture of the rims I'm thinking I will end up buying. They have a -13 offset so they will stick out farther then my stock rims.

I currently have my bed, side steps, and Lund bull bar all sprayed with Line-X.

Thanks in advance for your comments!!!!

Personally I like bullet liner more then line x. Better and less money. Not a fan of flares. But with tires that stick out, they don't look to bad. And those rims would look nice on your truck.

You would have to go with the 1500 flares since you have chrome bumpers . The 2500 flares are only for painted bumpers

If you want the flares to stand out the line x them, painted if you want them to blend in

I've seen them on 1500's with chrome bumpers.... which I think look pretty good when color matched, not sure about if they were black.

I prefer color matched but it's your truck. If you go the bed liner route, I suggest rhino liner. Some of my wrangler friends had their fenders rhino lined and seemed more resistant to cracking like a few of the guys that used line x. Nice wheels your looking at. Nice looking truck as well.
