I need some opinions, I want to upgrade the factory flares on my Laramie longhorn. What would you guys suggest for the style? My truck sits stock with 20’s, two tone paint(black & gold) I probably will keep the new flares black. Would that look funny? I’m looking at is pocket style flares. Could someone please help lol

Honestly unless your running more offset or wider tires they will look odd on stock truck for how much they stick out.

If you do go with them I would suggest painting them to match.

I would just keep the factory flares. Even with 1.75" spacers mine only stick out .5" past the stock flares. I think the bushwhacker style stick out like 2.5".

I have a 2500 but these BW flares are 3”
Make sure if you do anything other than types that use double sided tape, that you install paint protection tape or they will ruin the paint where they touch. I think @JB1 has a write up on here somewhere.

I always thought the aftermarket black ones with fake inlays for rivets look cheesy as hell. But it's your truck and we all like to make them personal. I'd keep the factory flares imo

I had some BW pocket style on my f250 they will mess up your paint under the flares with time they will expand and shrink with the heat but they look sick as [emoji90][emoji90][emoji90][emoji90]

After I'm done with all my other mods I will get some. 890a7e573254289be82e73c1e1fdcec8.jpgb620a299f93d29efee060cdabc6dd48e.jpg
