    I want to replace my factory flares with something wider and more aggressive. My tires throw gravel bad.

    First, how difficult are the factory flares to remove?

    Second, I have heard that the factory ones are hard to find and in demand. What is a fair price for them?

    They are in pretty good shape...

    2mchfun Cool story, but did your new TTV6 tow a shuttle?

    You might want to look into Bushwhacker rocker panel and door sill guards as well. Pretty decent for the price.

    What did you go with? I just ordered the bushwacker DRT style... they have 3.2 in coverage . We'll see what they are like.

    Nothing so far. Still trying to find time to install the new RC rear bumper before buying anymore goodies.

    Factory flares have about 1" of coverage, and I need an extra 1" or so. Looks like the cheaper aftermarket ones I had on my Ram pickup will work just fine. No issues with those in 4 years of backcountry exploring.

    I'll let you know what the DRT's look klike when i get em on. Do you have a leveling kit? Or what did you do to eliminate squat with your cap?

    Finished my Bushwacker DRT flares and added RAS to rear springs. No more mud down the side of my truck & no more "light load" squat. Haven't towed my camper yet.. That'll happen next week.

    I'd be interested in your factory flares if you ever want to part with them.
