depends on how big they are. if they are too big to me it looks weird because of the flare it already has being a flareside. but i will be playing around with flares or somthing of the sort myself when I'm done with my axle swap

Anyone have any pics. I am very curious to how they would look. I have a flareside, and when I get bigger tires I want them to help with rocks getting thrown into the edge of the fenders.

Those are the extenda flares...you have to cut your fenders so they can fit.

The '08 flares probably would not work on the back because of the height of the fender.
