Do I need special hardware to install these, or do they use factory holes?

These flares are designed to use existing factory mounting points on your vehicle. Before installation, inspect your vehicle's fender attachment areas to confirm all mounting locations are accessible and in good condition. You may need fasteners depending on your chosen mounting method — reference your vehicle's service manual or consult with your installer to confirm exact hardware requirements for your setup.

Will these flares clear my tires and suspension at full compression?

Wide-body flares extend the wheel arch, but your tire size, suspension setup, and ride height determine actual clearance. Measure your wheel and tire dimensions, then check the flare geometry against your specific configuration before installation. If you run aggressive camber or lowered suspension, verify clearance at full droop and full compression.

What's the best way to prep and paint these before I install them?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit and apply a quality epoxy primer, then your topcoat finish. If you're matching factory paint, have your body shop blend the color to ensure a seamless look once mounted. Some builders prefer to paint fenders while off the vehicle for better coverage and detail work — discuss your approach with your painter before starting prep.
