Anyone running these Flare Extensions? USA supplier?

I have an order in for a Clayton 2.5" Overland+ lift kit and some 37" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires (wheels are TBD). Based on switching from the stock 285/70-17 Wildpeak MTs to the Mickeys and the calculator on this Handy Tire Size Website I am expecting the outside edge of my tires to poke 2.8" more than current.

Stock tires are 11.25 wide and 37 would be 12.5, without looking up actual tire specs that 1.25 inches wider. Half to the inside, half to the outside. That's only 3/4 inch of extra poke.
Now the specs for the new wheels would have an impact on total poke, but you haven't determined your wheels yet.

So I'm not sure how your are coming up with the fact that you'll have 2.8inches more poke.

I am looking a few wheels that are 0 offset. I redid my numbers and it's 2.3 inches more poke. My eyesight sucks for up close stuff like doing messages on my phone ..... 2.8 was a typo on my part.

Ok, that makes more sense. You already know the wheel specs, just not sure on design. I get you now.

I added Husky Long John Mud Flaps to the front of mine. I'll get another set and add to the rear before long.

I installed them so they stick out 1 inch, but could easily mount them out further. They only cover the back half of the flare, not sure if that would help you.

I ordered the DBOR Mojave/Rubicon flares two weeks ago and installed them this week per the instructions on their video. Sanded them with 120 grit blocks and rattle canned them with black sound deadner I ordered off of Amazon. I also ordered a plastic rivet tool and used that for the install. I think it took me a total of 2 hours to install them following an hour of sanding and painting, not including drying time.

Overall, I’m really happy with the product. They are very stout and the plastic rivets hold them tight to the fenders. I hit the car wash quite a bit and I was worried that they wouldn’t hold up against the brushes, but those plastic rivets are surprisingly stout.

The original owner of my Jeep had installed 37” Ridge Grapplers but had also chosen the 13.50” wide versions, which combined with my Icon Rebound Pro’s 4.5” BS and -6mm offset, resulted in a ton of tire poke. I run the Rock Blockz XL mud flaps but they weren’t enough to keep the tires from flinging water, mud, slush all over the sides of the truck.

The DBOR flare extensions have 100% eliminated all my tire poke problems. They line up perfectly with the edges of my tires and prohibit 99.9% of any water or debris from leaving the fenders. Overall I’m 100% satisfied with them. I had been eyeing them for some time but couldn’t justify spending the money when they were $550 plus $200 shipping. As soon as they went on sale I was more OK with spending $550 and giving it a shot. All the extension holes lined up perfectly with the factory rivet holes and as previously stated, they are high quality for sure. Initially I was not keen on having to paint them myself, but the bright side is that I can easily touch them up whenever if needed. If you are considering them. My recommendation would be to find a few others wanting them and do a group buy to save on shipping. I hope this helps, see photos for reference.

Very nice, hoping they make an Overland compatible kit someday.

I’m not sure what makes the overland flares different from a standard JT flare? I would be tempted to call a dealership and cross reference the part numbers. If they are the same, then I’d just order the standard US spec flares from DBOR. If the only difference is rivet placement, then the worst you’d have to contend with is drilling a few holes. I definitely think they are worth the effort of a little extra investigation. I know you already emailed DBOR, but it’s worth a shot.

As per communication DBOR, and knowing the difference between Mojave/Rubicon and Overland fenders, the contour is quite different.

Sadly, The DBORs cannot be recontoured to fit.

The LineX seems like a great option!
