Ok so I found a pretty awesome deal on some bushwackers, but they are for a 2dr. I have a 4dr. I was wondering if I could just cut the rear flares and mount them that way. Im not sure what I'd cut it with or if they would fit ok. If anyone has an idea lemme know.

You might be able to use them but you'd have to mockup the rears and see where the bolts come through on the rear door.

you can do it.. i did it with stock front flares.. looks fine
tape the rear flare in place where you want it, then mark where it needs to be cut, follow the door line straight down.
remove the flare and cut it, then bolt it up

I know mines a pic of stock front flares on the rear but you get the idea

ignore small tires that has been remedied

Cool, I'll be picking the flares up later today. I might try to mount them but I'm not sure if I got time later.

early model front flares work great too..

just a little trimming to the flares but they are plenty big enough for cutting out all the way to the pinch seam. plus most of the time you can get them for free

Good luck. Hope the flares work for you. Look forward to seeing them done. Thanks for the rack.
