So put on some new shoes for the truck. Should I put fender on or not? Pocket style or extended fender flares? Would appreciate inputs. Pics below to help.

Thanks guys. Interesting thought on Bushwackers. Truck seems taller in person. Hmm. Here another angle. I am worried the tires will tuck in too much with picket fenders.

That's why I was thinking oem for yours..they only add about 1.5-2" of protection so your tires would probably sit flush with them

If you get fendors make sure they are the beefy looking ones like EGR fendor flares. I dont know anything about EGR so i cannot recommend them but i love the lifted look with those giant fendors. looks manly

Yes they are Extremes. I almost called to change them to Toyo MTs but they already shipped. After I saw them, I am not one bit disappointed. They saved me 32 lbs over the MTs and are better in the conditions I need to drive in ( mostly highway, rain and packed snow) most of the time.

Thanks. Ill check those out. Im not doing fenders for now, but, if I do, I might go with the pocket style from Smittybilt because they are only 1.5 in of coverage compared to the Bushwackers that will be over 2.5 in making it looked to tucked-in.
