Raising Overland fenders to Rubicon height?

[DesertGladiatorJT]

Hi everyone,

I have a Black overland and was wondering, does anyone know if there is a way to raise the stock fenders to look like the rubicon fenders?

Thanks!

Yes. Easy. Buy Rubicon fenders. The only way I’m pretty sure.

Thanks, just wanted to see if there was a way to do it without buying Rubicon ones.

Wasn’t trying to be a smart ass, it probably sounded that way, but it’s talked about on here a lot. If you come up with something, please post it.

The only way that I could think of would involve a good body man and would likely be more expensive than the previously mentioned option of buying the rubicon fenders.

The dealer is telling me that the Rubi's are not compatible with the overland due to the interior shielding pieces. Do y'all just throw out the shielding?

If you buy rubicon fenders new it comes with the new inner fender liners. If you buy used make sure they include the inner fenders as well. Rubicon fenders can be mounted on any trim level if the inner fender liners are also installed from what I have read. I am waiting on a sport to be delivered and plan on doing this upgrade ASAP.

This... I bought the Rubi kit that included the wheel well shields. They are just bigger because the flares are bigger, but they will fit. Nothing special there.

Is there a specific part number for this kit and does it also include all the mounting hardware?

Mount points are the same. Quadratec has the kits listed with the part numbers. 4 different kits available (halogen or led and paintable or textured).

After months of back and forth, they finally got this done...apparently perfectly compatible with no issues. Just incompatible in the computer system.

Do you mean the computer is not compatible with the LEDs in the fenders?

I'm looking to buy a set of Black painted Rubicon fenders and the liners. Rubicon fenders are not just taller, but they are wider. If you were able to lift the overland fenders the bottom would be higher off the steps and still narrower.

No-i mean the parts ordering computer at the dealership couldn't figure out that they were exactly compatible between trim levels
