Looking for advice on Fender Flairs

[johnsonw]

I’m looking for opinions on Fender Flairs:
I have a 2011 Silverado 3500, SRW, Silver. I am installing Fender Flairs to hide some minor damage to two of my wheel wells. My truck is not raised and I have stock Michelin LTX A/T2 LT265/70R 18 tires. I am a full time RVer and use my truck to tow my 5th wheel. I am going to leave the Fender Flairs Black
1) What is the best product (TFP, Bushwacker, Prestige, Premium, EGR, Warn, Rugged Ridge, other)
2) I am not sure which Fender Flairs would look/work best. I like the look of the Bolt on Look Pocket Style and/or Smooth Extend a Fenders, and they would provide more protection since they stick out ~ 2” and they will replace my mud flaps. But I’m not sure if they will look stupid, since I am not raising my truck and I don’t have oversized tires. If I don’t go with one of these, I am leaning towards the OEM Look.
Would love to hear your opinions!

probably not what you want to hear, but these trucks look goofy as all get out with stock tires and flares...

As I said, I'm looking for opinions. Do you think it would look goofy even with the OEM Look Fender Flairs, as they only stick out .75" and would still serve the purpose of hiding the damange on my wheel wells.

I Agree with 2500 HD. Having said that I got Bushwacker OEM style,with this body style basically having them built in with the body style of the truck they look a little weird.When I bought it in Nov. I wanted something to protect the underside of fender so it didn' chip and rust. now I'm looking for wider tires to help the look a bit don't get me wrong it don't look that bad but it took me the opposite way I wanted to go,if I knew of a different way to protect it I would take them off. Now I'm trying to decide whether to get as wide of tire as I can for My stock 20's or not go much over stock width and put wheel spacers on it. Like I said they don't look bad but I'm weird about shit like that.If your set on it don't go any bigger than OEM style they give ya about a 1/2 inch the others really stick out there if Ya want I can take some pics and TRY to post them on here or take some with my I phone and send them to Ya, but someone will have to help me with pics put on here.

Iam in the same boat, i have a 2009 not sure which flares iam leaning towards the oem style,i have 285-70-17 on dickcepek wheels they are 17-9 with a 5" back space, and they are level with the fenders, as far as quality bushwacker hands down.

Rich67,
A box freezer got pushed against my wheel wells in the storm and I need to cover the damage with something. It would be great if you could send me a picture (front and back) of your 2500HD with OEM style Fender Flairs. You can send via phone or e-mail and I will post for others to see.
Thanks
