bushwacker cut out flare

[1988GMC]

I'm looking into installing a set of bushwacker cut out flares on my 88 k1500. the reason is because I am going to do a sas which will net about 3" lift and I'm gonna run a set of 37x12.5x16.5 that I already have. So my question is how hard are they to install? I see that they are held on by just a small self tapping bolt into the sheet metal would that pull out easy? Also does anyone have experience running these flares and if so what are your thoughts? Thanks all replies will be greatly appreciated.

I see yall are both from massive2sh!ts lol. I saw these flares on a truck down the road from where i work and wondered how hard the install was. If i can remember to, I'll stop by there next time i see it and ask...

I have a set that look like the stock ones but stick out further than stocks,they attach with self tapping screws once they are on they stay tight to the fender they are for sale also.And on our 99 nbs silverado we have the ones with the simulated bolts around them and those attach with the stock plastic push pin holders have had them on for 3 yrs with no issues of them coming loose

Thanks do you have any pictures? I have a set of oem on there now but will need the bigger wheel opening and wider wheel coverage with the axle swap and 37s i plan to run, the bushwackers say they are 5" coverage.
here is a pic of the one I already have on the truck.

You must be registered for see images attach

Not the best picture but its the only one I have right now that shows the flares.

A solid axle swap should net you more than 3" of lift.

with stock springs you'll be around 4/5 lift, 3"springs will put you at 6/7

Thank you no rush on the pic I will be using the front leafs out of a 3/4 ton 47" will that be any different height over half ton i plan to keep the 64" 1/2 ton springs in the rear and do a 4" shackle flip to level the truck
