I was also quoted $6k for fitting fenders, bedsides and paint, I mean, clearbcoat on the primer.

@mattl600 is there a gear change with 39s? Glass will be my next upgrade but probably not until next year. Wondering if I should just plan on the bigger fenders in case I jump to 39s at a later date.


Yes kn gear change. Can’t remember the exact ratio. I think 5:13.


If 39s are something you’re into…. Just go wider now. Haha

@Donovan You may not be aware on what goes into fitting fiberglass fenders and bedsides on a truck. It's not a simple bolt on by any means. And it takes a very skilled body shop/shop to do so. And make it look right. Especially the rear.



This is the actual wide body not what I am trying to do correct? Fender flares vs this entirely modified fender system with bedsides...

That IS what you're trying to do. A lot of these "widebody" trucks have different types of fiberglass fenders and bedsides but they all have full fender and bedside replacements. Nex posted the bigger flares but you did not like those. Aside from this truck below (which is only flares and you didn't like) all of the other trucks have removed the front fenders and bedsides and replaced them with new wider fiberglass pieces, just like in the video.
