I saw these on eBay as well. I was skeptical because it said drilling may be required. I don't want to drill the bolts into my truck.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of drilling either. But I'm not spending 800 on Bushwacker flares, or even 400 for that matter. Not when there are so many 200 and under knockoffs that will be good enough for me lol

2500 flares made by Tyger. I painted myself and they will NOT cost you 500 like bushwackers. They are well made and have the rubber seal the whole way around. No drilling needed.

Here's mine. Bushwacker pocket style fender flares with Line-X. No drilling required. You can paint match or do matte black in all bushwacker styles I believe.

What bumper is that? Looking for one for my single cab.

Let me know if you get them and they install without drilling.

Those look nice. In my amazon wish list, 150 is a great price. Going to pull my OEM's off and see how much tire I have sticking out. I still want some to stick out...

Thanks! I painted them to match. I'm running 33x12.50 on 20x10 with I believe 25 offset. My tires really stick out without flares.

Has anyone bought Tyger Auto TG-FF8D4078? They're riveted pockets, at $123 on Amazon I'm having trouble justifying Bushwhackers.

I got the non riveted ones from Auto monkey from Amazon. If u don't plan on kicking up rocks and dirt and is more of visual the Amazon flare should be fine

Copy that... it's cheaper than rust repair and painting. I can just fix the rust and put the flares on. :naughty:

Which models come with the OEM flares? The truck I am looking at doesn't have flares, as I look to put wider/larger tires on, I kind of like the OEM flare look - not to wide, no pockets, more subtle but just a bit of coverage for rocks/dirt down the side of the truck.

couldn't tell you for sure, but I have a laramie and they were standard.. you can find oem like ones on ebay for a lot cheaper...

Bought the Tygers that I asked about in an earlier post, Amazon $123+tax. They fit my '08 1500 perfectly and the gasketing and hardware were in the box as expected. Others have said the instructions are not great, no, they suck. That said, it's pretty self explanatory. Start to finish it took about three hours, including removal of the Hemi badging for the fronts.

I was looking at these in the matte black. Do you think I can easily install them myself? I have basic car skills but I don't want to pay someone to install if I don't have to.
