Like everything the price has gone up, I also went and got all new stainless hardware to prevent rust.

The picture sucks but it's all I have at the moment..they are very well made and I would consider them heavy duty. They arent flimsy like stock flares which may be a good or bad thing.

There was no modifications to stock and I opted to delete the side markers. They have a cutout in the flares if you want to use side markers.

The only downside is the hardware they supply. They want you to use plastic push rivets (supplied with the flares). They work but aren't my fastener of choice. I see no reason you couldn't reuse your oem flare hardware.

Thankfully my oem threaded inserts were good and I was able to use their screws to fasten those areas.

Overall I would buy them again in a heart beat and will continue to recommend them.

Thanks, I appreciate it. They look good on your jeep. I think I'm going to give them a try.

How much coverage do you need 5-1/2".

Those flares are 4” I just put a set on my Jeep to replace the 7” ones I had on it.

They're actually the exact same width as Sahara and Rubicon flares.

Can you put a tape measure on them and take a pic like @TheBoogieman did?

The member replying to the post I was reading said they were actually like the 4” Rubicon fenders. They compared the two and the RC weren’t a true 5.5”, only slightly bigger than Rubicon

I stand corrected, Rubicon 4.5”, and like Boogieman shows, these are 4.5”.

Are those the Rough Country or actual Rubicon flares?

I got these paramount autos off amazon for $189. They are a short term look until I can do aluminum. Honestly for the price I really love them though. Pretty damn sturdy on the trails too!View attachment 315264

Like those flares, and wheels too! Mine are a little beat up so I'm considering replacing or upgrading, but they aren't too bad so no rush.

RC in that pic. They have a slight texture, unlike the smooth Rubicon flares. Rubi top/RC bottom.

I like my DC2’s even if people give me crap. I will say, when tires come due, I will look at new wheels too.

DC1's?

Hey, I’m a DC-2 guy too. There must be something to them since so many people like them.

That’s a good option for someone wanting Rubi flares. I remember finding them back when I damaged my fender, and thinking they looked Rubi width and not the advertised 5.5”, but I didn’t know so I went a different route. Thanks!

I asked RC why they advertise 5.5" when they're not and they wouldn't respond to me.

I had the DC-1's on my old 98'. They blinded people when I polished them.

I picked up mine from craigslist, but I'm pretty sure they are made by paramount.
when I get wheels with a better offset they wont cover much tire. Something to consider with the flat fender steez.
