Smittibilt Bushwacker Style Fender Flares

I recently purchased a set of 7" extended "bushwacker style" fender flares made by Smittibilt for my Jeep Wrangler. And I want to tell you that I was very disappointed in the Smittibilt fender flares.

After installing them I did not like the looks, because they lean in towards the tires and I had much more tire rub on the trails. I run 35 x 10.5 x 15 Xterrains with a 4" lift.

Re: Smittibilt Bushwacker Style Fender Flares

Interesting! I've got 35x14.5x15 and I would like some larger fenders so I can see a bit better in the mud. Anybody gotten the Bushwacker Fenders? Thanks

I replaced those Smittibilt with 7" extended (OEM style) fender flares and I experience NO fender rub, No mud splash, and they look cool. They cost about $140.00 delivered on ebay.
