    Hey y'all, I'm looking to switch out my bolts on the flares. Does anyone happen to know what thread size they are? Also they are removable correct? Ive seen videos but I recently was at the dealership and the parts guy flat out said I was stupid. I know I can paint them but I'd really prefer to just buy new! I appreciate any help or advice y'all can offer!

    Thank you so much! Any suggestions on where I should buy the new ones? I knew you had to take the flare off just been to lazy to take it off just for a bolt size :rofl: figured it was just easier to ask and hoping it might help others!

    If you're looking for black bolts Bushwacker has a kit with bolts, washers and nuts. I've seen them on Amazon and Ebay for around $40. I'm sure there are cheaper kits out there too. You can probably find just the bolts in black at a place like Fastenal and reuse the washers and nuts. The washers are barely visible under the bolt head.

    Do you happen to know what length fits? There are so many options!

    Unless something has changed since I installed my flares, they are removable. I had to screw each one in myself when I got my kit. I would remove one and take it with me to match up with the new hardware if you are buying local. If using online/etc, local hardware store should be able to help you id the size. Bushwacker may have size identified on their website/ directions pdf.
