The warns look like the extend-a-flare from bushwacker. When they come down to the bottom of the truck, they don't follow the contour of the truck, the come straight down and then have a straight line back to the truck. Where the OE flares from bushwacker follow the contour of the truck.

Neither the Warn or Stillen have the trimline in the rear flare as the flares in the original post do so we can rule them out.

Both the Xenons and the Bushwackers have the trimline .

Here is a pick of the Xenons:


Here is a pick of the BW's:

 

Well crap I hadn't seen the Xenons with the trimline ( learn something new everyday ). Those flares look almost identical really, I guess it just comes down to preference now.............I however still think they look like the BW's just because of the way they look in black, but I could be wrong

I like the way the Warn 4x block more debris from hitting the body. No dimensions given on Warn's web page? Do the 4X add 2" to fender?

I have had both (not on the same truck of course ) and I personally think the BW's are flimsy and overpriced as compared to the quality of the Xenons.

The only thing I guess that is nice about the BW, as mentioned previously, is the ability to remove them and clean under them. However I don't see how this would be necessary with the Xenons as they attach to the bodyside of the truck with double sided tape not allowing junk to get behind them. The BW's do not attach directly to the bodyside which I can see how dirt would get behind them.

 

I agree with this. I do like how they will protect the bodyside better. Asthetically, IMHO, unless you are running a wider tire that fills the wheelwell a little better the OEM style looks a little nicer than the Warn.

 

Yeah I have had a couple sets of BW's and I agree they are pretty flimsy, although I have never had one crack or break when wheeling. I have yet to own the Xenon's so I can't comment on those. Heard a lot of good things about them though!

I have to do this to you gotlift01, I have xenons on my truck and the DO have the body lines molded in. I have had one brake on my rear p-side, but that is because someone backed into it!, I took it off and JBwelded the back, and put superglue and flower on the front, sanded smooth, and lined them all with durabak, and it is good as new!, here is pix of when I first had them painted to match the truck, then with the durabak. I personally liked the truck all 1 color myself, but the mud tires like to throw rocks, and rocks chip the crap out of fender flare paint!

Since we are on the topic of flares can some one confirm which flares i have.........Jamie

 

Yeah I realize that now, I had never seen them with the trimline in them. Somebody yesterday posted a pic on here that showed them that way!! I didn't think that they did but like I said earlier, you learn something new everyday!!
