Fender flairs

[Rsmith]

I’m getting ready to install some new flairs on my 75. I currently have some old fiberglass flairs in the rear and uncut in the front. Running 33x12.50’s. I purchased a set of warflairs from Wildhorses. They seem like they may open the wheel well up more than I want. I understand that you can form them to suit your needs, but if you don’t want to take them up to the body line, the bottom gets pretty wide. They may be fine, just don’t want to cut and decide they are too big. I’m wondering if Tom’s are about the same size? Anyone using Tom’s ultra flex? Any other options I should consider? Thanks in advance.

Made this video 12 years ago. Still seems relevant. It was made to show stock suspension with 33s and Warflares but I think it will give you a good look at a properly installed Gorilla Warflare.

Warflares are the right size. You just might need some bigger tires to fill the gap.

Thank you, I will check it out. I probably should have added that I have a 2.5 sl and will be adding a 1 bl.

Here's what the warflares look like with 33 X 12.5 and a 2-1/2" SL.

That looks great and helps. Looks like I can make these work with my application. Thanks for sharing the pic.

always consider the WH flares for sure...

Is it typical to cut the front fender rear support out with the Warflares? I was doing some mock up and where I have the flare right now, seems I will need to cut past the mount point. I’m still playing around with final position. Maybe I need to move it up closer to the body line?
And the rear looks like I will lose the front fender support. I haven’t cut anything yet. Wanted some advice before I go too far.

I don't recall cutting out any supports for my install, but going off of memory at the age of 67 is kind of scetchy... That was 10 years ago. I'd go look but my bronco is across town in my daughter's garage. Lets see what others have to say (Dirt Donk?). Or you can call WH and ask them. They are very helpful in that regard.

I have the warflares with a 2.5" lift and 2" body lift, running 35's. Looks great and I do not have them installed to the body line.

Yes, I cut the supports.

I appreciate everyone’s input. From the pictures I posted above, does this look close? Am I missing anything ? Im open to criticism. I would rather hear it now than after I cut and drill. I fell like I’m really over thinking this project.

They look good to me.
