Put on just one tow mirror for checking for vibrations. They did pretty well, I can see a whole lot more than the lil stubby mirrors. Now to take it back off so I can paint them soon. 298d929b6a2a9d7a728b8b5c04c2910d.jpg Don’t mind the door panel lol. Wind blew it down right before I took the pic lol.

Yep, ordered some that look like an oem light, kinda lol
Huh. Well, recently I decided I no longer like or want depo tails. Good thing I didn't buy them yet, right? Lol.

Also, just as I was about to do my plugs, it starts raining. ****.

Awesome! You’ll love the new stance, it snot obnoxiously big but gives it a nice strong look

You're absolutely right, I really like the look. The tires no longer look like they're tucked into the truck, they're flush with the fender flares.

That’s like exactly opposite of my tow mirrors. I have way more visibility with the tows then the stubbies. Let alone having the blind spot mirror

I was so embarrassed driving mine around with the huge flares I had [emoji38] my buddy’s kept teasing me I had a truck with birthing hips lol

The ones I pulled would literally view one car in the next lane... Adjusted way out to the point where I couldn't see the side of the truck even if I leaned way over...

Now I can once again view 2 lanes wide and a dozen cars down and still see the broad side of the truck without leaning over.

Can't see my blindspots, though, so perhaps I'll get some stick ons to supplement. Though, adjusting all the way out helps, and I can almost get a panoramic view between my rear view and side views adjusted all the way out into the blind spots, so there's that too, lol.

These do zoom in a lot more, but I’m okay with that because of the large blind spot mirrors on them. Make it real easy to see the side of the truck as well as a wide angle behind me. 99823df5b0025b35365f144273433848.jpg

These are the style I have. You have better width on the mirror since the blind spot mirror is just in the corner

I don’t know how far into it you are, but it really helps to wire brush the hubs and rotor to remove all the buildup of dirt and rust. For some reason it’s really hard to remove my front spacers, they fit pretty tight. I’ve pretty much had to use a hammer and a putty knife to get in behind them to pop them loose. The back once will come off really easily though.

Honestly I cringe when I see thick fender flares with stock wheels and no spacers. I installed the narrowest flares I could find, and still didn't like the look. It took me a while to decide how thick I wanted the spacers to be. The 1.75s are spot on.
