I am looking to get my hands on a pair of these so badly. I absolutely love the look...price is not the best though.

Firstly, does anyone know any places to get these a little bit discounted? I am 100% for getting them used as well! Almost prefer it.

Second, does anyone have any pictures of these on a jeep without a lift? Currently I have 295's with 1.5inch wheel spacers so I think this should look pretty nice on my 08 unlimited but I would love to see some pictures if possible! Also, I am thinking about getting a 2.5inch budget lift in the near future so that may help me out in the look.

Let me know!!

Out of curiosity, how much do these things run new?

That's per pair too

So a 1000 bucks for all four? That is crazy. Good luck in your quest for a better deal.

i really like these too! If i remember correctly, the front pair are about $550 for the rear pair and $450 for the front pair.

I own them and there well made. Currently I'm at 2.5" with 35s and it makes your tires look small from all the clearance. Will be doing a 4" lift very soon. To me there worth the price from all the attention they receive.

Check Northridge for them I'm sure you can get 10% off. I went Amazon route

Depending on where you are I have a set that I never installed front and rear for A JKU. I'd sell them for 700 obo + shipping

Have they caused you any problems because of the exposure they give to the shocks and other components?

No problems. If you want your jeep clean don't buy them. This pic was after I washed it. There is zero coverage on the front fenders and will make a tiny mud hole look like you went mudding for hrs. As far as the shocks I noticed my shock boots filling with debri quickly so I cut the boots off and have had no issues. They retain the factory plastic guard in your wheel well so there's actually nothing more exposed then when I had stock fenders, just more tire clearance

I really like the huge tire clearance and especially how they make the jeep look so much higher. I can't afford to get the really nice lift I want right now so this will deff give my jeep with the 295's the higher look I'm looking for I think.

I have them too, But on a 5.5 lift... So far the best price you can get is close to $1000, and if you're not want to installed yourself, add another grant to it.... I know, is crazy... But they are well made and look really nice

Hey man you got a pic of your jeep with the 5.5 and the fenders? I was torn between RK 5.5 or currie 4" and went currie because I won't have the money to buy 40" tires and new axles that will look good with a 5.5

JRied · Feb 23, 2015

Never mind I just saw your before and after pics..... Wow.... That's a hell of a jeep

JRied does this look normal to you. I am talking about the Gap between Fender and the body. I will attach more pics after I put the foam insert.

My concern is the size of the gap and also how crappy the line was cut. Its wavy and uneven.

This is what it looks like with the foam insert.

I have the same gaps except the one in the second pic, that one wasn't as bad on mine. I had a 2 friends push on that same corner to close it and I drilled a new nutcert into the back of my jeep thru the xrc fender and my jeep to kind of get it more tucked in although it wasn't as big as yours. The big gap that runs down the door by the seat I have and it drove me crazy but I got used to it. It sucks but when something is mass produced and shipped out of China you can expect it to happen. I'll post a pic of how mine has some of those same gaps when I pick my jeep up. I found a guy that actually welded his to the body in that area and it looks good, he also chopped off the square tail lights and added some nice circle ones. I'll post the pics. I should get my jeep back in a cpl days and I'll post the one of the gap I have
