fender flares problem

[FireDawg1997]

got my set of 4 bushwacker pocket style fender flares yesterday (94-01) the backs matched up perfect as they should but the fronts lined up in the front by the bumper but on the other end they hung over my door about 2 inches?

is this a body style diffrence in the years or did bushwacker possibly send me the wrong ones?

snap some pics, do the inside of the wheel wells line up? top and botton line up? pics would help alot! have someone hold 'em or mock them up somehow.

ok guys i got it all figured out they are supose to hang over the doors believe it or not,

FYI - after some research and calling bushwacker themselves there is 4 types of flares bushwacker makes for our 2nd gens, street style, OE style, extend-a-fender, and pocket style. the larges style (pocket) is the one i purchaced, also being the only one that hangs over the door due to its larger size and coverage area, when i spoke with the rep from the company she said people call about this problem all the time and it should be stated on the directions with the part but it has not been put in there yet, but after a test fit and attempting to open the door, it opened just fine when our doors open the door sucks back away from the flare.

^^^^Interesting note to have. Thanks for the info. I know the pockets look awesome on a lifted truck just never looked at them that close.
