Got the rears installed finally. Went off without much trouble. Quality really seems to be declining with the brand since being bought… I dk if I’ll continue to buy for the price vs quality.

they matched my fronts. So I’m committed at this point. You have to cut off a lot of stuff for the fronts and rears. Fair warning get your saw zall out.

Fab fours used to be a good quality product. I believe they were bought out by Warn and a lot of the production is now in china. I've had many of their bumpers, the newer ones are not the same quality as they used to be.

Are those fenders attached to the body in the stock locations? I think I'd rather have the plastic fenders, they are relatively cheap and easy to replace if I hit one and knock it off. A steel fender attached to sheet metal is going to mangle the body if hit. Sure, the fender will be okay, but now the much more expensive body is the one bending and breaking.

I'd love it if any of these "armored look" fenders bolt to the chassis or something else strong enough to shrug off the hit. I might even buy some if they have strong enough mounting points.

They bolt in multiple points through the factory holes on the bed. Then the flares bolt to that panel. It’s pretty solid. They are also extremely high and tight compared to most. I have had bushwhacker etc and these are way nicer. If I’m doing something to tear off a flare I’m going to be on the side of the truck probably or upside down lol.

Perspective on the fact of how high they are and I’m running 40s. So any normal set up is never going to touch them most likely.
