Mind the Gap?

[dieselvrr]

Temporarily mounted the 6" Bushwacker Flat Fenders on my 3.5 inch Metalcloak with 33's. Not sure how I feel about the gap between the tires and fenders. Thoughts?

Yep, this is why I don't like flat fenders. I don't like all the gap. The stock fender flares--while sometimes restrictive--do a good job from an aesthetic standpoint, of hiding that gap.

I'm OK with the front...its the rear that gives me a little heart burn. You can fit a small child in there.

Yes, the rear is what I was thinking about as well. You could throw a hard top on, that might level out the back and reduce that gap. I have the same extra height in the rear, but when I put my hardtop on and put the kids in the back, it levels out mostly.

Yea I hate a ton of gap. When I had 33s on mine it drove me nuts how much space I had. Now that I have 35s it took care of my gap problem.

I got excited about the topic. Now im disappointed.

I will be putting on front and rear dirtworx bumpers. Winch in the front as well. That would probably help the gap.

Maybe its just me but I think it looks good. Do you have a shot from the front?

I was thinking another body lift thread.

I don't mind the look at all. But I also don't care for the stock flares, and prefer the flat fender look.

Winch will help the front gap. My f/r Dirtworx bumpers didn't affect my wheel gap at all.

It was late and rainy last night. I will try to get one from the front today outside. Driver side is still stock it should be a good pic to compare.

Hoping I wont have to get spacers to even out the front with the rear...

 

[glwood]

Any photos of the lift and tires with the stock flares for comparison?

oops, I see you have the other side still stock...will be interesting to compare

 

[dieselvrr]

Lift with stock flares.

 

[glwood]

See, that looks great to me. Paint those suckers black, ta da!

 

[tworley]

I like the gap!

 

[Serbonze]

When the axle is fully stuffed will the tires hit any point on the stock flares? If they do, do you care? If it does, and you care, then embrace the gap.

I like it but I'm bias since I have the same fenders. I'm running a 3.5 rubicon express lift and 35s.
*Stole this photo from the sticker thread so don't mind my fake hood decal.
