Another thing to think about. MC's wont give you any additional clearance over stock if your left and right tires go up at the same time. So dont be fooled into thinking youre buying highline clearance without cutting your hood.

Tube fenders fall into two groups. Highline and not highline. From there pick whichever ones give you a stupid smile everytime you look at them

Awesome. Glad to see this up here. One thing to note- the C&C Fab are available welded as well as DIY, and also have a "Hood Line" option on the flared version.

Can we not turn this into a Hi-lines versus DIY from scratch thread?

Rugged Ridge Non Hi-Line upgrade version does not require cutting up factory fender. (they have a basic version too)
Requires paint and does not include side markers.

^^ Which is how it's listed


Necromancer- I understand your point, it's a valid one, but the reality is that if that was such an easy and viable option there would be a lot less aftermarket options for this. For a large majority of people something like MC's or T&T's are just more accessible.

Necro- I think also representing your option is some of the more DIY kits.


Updating again this morning, should be very up to date.


If anyone that has any of these flares that have ??? and isn't stretched at all out front could do a decent measurement from the center of the wheel straight up and straight back that would be cool. Also please post up your total lift so we can back into increased upwards and backwards travel.

OK edited. If anyone wants to try and track down any pics for the ones I don't have or other measurements that would be awesome. I need to do some work @ work
