Pocket style flares

Does anyone make a 6" Pocket Flare like the Bushwackers, only out of a more flexible material, like the factory flares?

I'm wrapping up my lift and had always like the looks of the BWs, but I've since learned that they're ABS and too rigid to avoid cracking. I actually bought a used set to get me by, but they're majorly beat up.

Not sure what factory flares are made of so I don't know what to look for in catalog descriptions.

I'll also consider 6" flares of any other style if someone has a recommendation. I build for the trail, not for the looks, ya know?

Thanks!
Roger

Totally different style, but I had a pair of Xenons (flattish top style) that were the most durable material I've seen on flares. pic;

I think most of the flares out there, OMix Warn Bestop etc are made of a good material. Why they can't do that with pocket style flares I do not know...
