Using larger Tires may increase the area required to
turn the vehicle. Some Tire/Rim combinations may require lowering
bump stops and or installing steering stops to prevent tire from
contacting flare.

minimum 4" clearance between flares and exhaust pipes.
(Exhaust gases should not vent directly onto flares)
Metal Protection:

All exposed fasteners and bare metal should be
treated with red oxide primer BEFORE installing flares. Spray inner
