Fender Flares!!!!!!

[Aquaholic78]

I recently bought some Bushwacher fender flares for my 08 3500 Dually. I had a body shop install them and they came out looking horible. I even took them to another shop and he said they just dont fit up very well. There is 1/4 to 3/8 inch gaps between flares and body. Anybody know a better brand or some tricks?

mine had gaps when I first put them on then I discovered a Trick. When installing them hold the flare against the truck firmly then screw them into to fender well. This sucked in the gaps I initially had with the pocket style flares And my truck. It also helps to have two people (as ridiculous as that sounds just for flares) but my pops held them snug while I tightened the screws and it was night and day difference. Hope this helps

just read a forum about someone who couldn't get them snug without screws as well. that seems to be the consensus on the fix for gaps

JD are those bushwackers. Some flares have really bad lines where it meets up with the front bumper. Yours look good. Do they take away from the clearance of the wheel at the back of the wheelwell at all. I almost rub the way it is and need extra space, or at least not getting in the way anymore
