Ive got bushwacker pocket style flares. You dont have to get them painted, but I chose to. They are good to go either way.

If you are looking for just a 6" Lift I would definately go with Fabtech.

nice truck the thing i didnt like about fabtech is pushes the front wheels out so far, like 3 inches or so from what i read. so if you run wide rims, 10 inches wide, with a 4.5 bacspace, they're gonna stick out like 5 inches or so further than stockers . no one makes flares that wide and if your worried about the paint on your truck or getting a ticket, your kinda outta luck. it looks sweet, but the heat loves pulling over the big truck around here, i think they get their jollies doing it or something
