Adding rubicon front fender flares to sport max tow

[Tony F]

Just wondering if anyone has done this? Does it look strange just doing the fronts? I like the look of the higher front fender flares and don’t think the rear are as noticeable. I added the 1.5 teraflex leveling kit and would like more of a gap in the front. Don’t want to lift any higher but figured rubicon front fenders would give a higher appearance. I assume wrangler rubicon fronts fit as well as the liners from what I read but correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks!

I installed the knockoff fronts from Ebay. They fit perfectly and look great but are a slightly different shade than OEM. Other than that I love them! I did go ahead and do the Quake fender chop on them and chopped the rears as well.

Do you have a link from eBay or a seller?

Do factory lights mount to these whether LED or halogen?

Yes, I installed my non-led lights into it initially before installing the chop kit.

I have the black painted flares, do you think these are paintable?

I’m just surprised the knock offs cost more than the factory. That seems kinda crazy. I guess since they are available and the factory aren’t currently maybe that makes sense.
How was the install? Everything line up and go together without any creative engineering? How’s the fit and finish? You mention color, are they lighter gray versus black?

I must be missing something. The oem costs $377 each and don’t come with the liners. This kit comes with both fronts and liners as well as hardware. Are you sure you found factory for less money?

Yes these are meant to be painted. They have a smooth, untextured finish. I forgot to mention that in the earlier post.

I think somebody else mentioned that the price is for the pair so ~1/2 the cost of oem. It came with all required hardware and all new white clips that tend to break when removing the orifinal fenders. Everything fit perfectly including the inner liner. I keep waiting for them to release the knock off rears for the gladiator, right now only the wrangler rears are available.

Cool…if you hear anything about the rears can you let us know? Thanks for the info!

Last question before I order…are they the same width as the max tow front flares? I see that yours is a max by your rear flares…didn’t want any more side splash than I already have with my -12 offset wheels ?

They are at least the same width if not wider.

I just bought them. My friend is the body shop manager at a jeep dealership and he quoted me $225 to paint them both. Seems good to me! Thanks again
