Bushwacker Max Coverage Fender Flares – Premium Protection for Your Truck
Our Max Coverage Fender Flares represent the pinnacle of truck protection and aggressive styling. Engineered to extend coverage beyond standard pocket-style flares, these flares shield your paint from the harshest trail debris, mud, and road grime.
We designed Max Coverage flares for truck owners who push their vehicles to the limit. Whether you’re running oversized tires after a lift kit installation or tackling technical off-road terrain, these flares deliver the widest coverage in our lineup. Each set is manufactured in our South Carolina facility using UV-protected Dura-Flex 2000 material that withstands extreme temperatures without cracking or fading.
The extra-wide design provides up to 6 inches of additional coverage compared to OE-style flares, creating a seamless barrier between your tires and body panels. We back every set with our lifetime warranty because we know these flares are built to last as long as you own your truck.

Material Engineering & Construction
We manufacture Bushwacker max coverage fender flares from our proprietary Dura-Flex 2000 thermoplastic olefin compound. This advanced material delivers the perfect balance of rigidity and flex—stiff enough to maintain shape under highway speeds, yet flexible enough to absorb impacts from rocks and debris without permanent deformation.
Our South Carolina production facility subjects every flare to a multi-stage molding process that ensures consistent wall thickness and precise fitment. The textured finish isn’t just aesthetic; it helps hide minor scratches and provides a non-reflective surface that won’t show glare on sunny days. We’ve UV-stabilized the entire compound so the deep black color resists sun fade even in desert climates where lesser flares turn chalky gray within two seasons.
Coverage Dimensions & Tire Clearance
Max Coverage flares extend 3.5 to 6 inches beyond your factory fender line, depending on your specific vehicle application. This extended profile accommodates tire upgrades up to 3 inches wider than stock without rubbing issues or illegal tire protrusion beyond the fender.
We engineered the inner lip to follow your wheel well contour precisely, creating a protective barrier that channels mud and water downward instead of letting it spray onto door panels and rocker panels. The coverage arc extends from the leading edge near your headlight all the way back past the door hinge, eliminating the gap that standard pocket flares often leave exposed.
Installation Process & Mounting
Our no-drill installation system uses your factory mounting points and body panel lips. Each kit includes stainless steel bolts, washers, and weather-resistant clips designed for your specific year, make, and model. The entire installation typically takes 90 minutes with basic hand tools—no special equipment required.
We provide vehicle-specific templates that mark exact placement before you commit to any holes. For models requiring minimal drilling, we’ve pre-marked drill points and include the correct bit size. The inner mounting flanges distribute load across multiple contact points, preventing stress cracks around bolt holes that plague cheaper flares.

Max Coverage Fender Flare Questions
Max Coverage flares are designed to accommodate most aftermarket bumpers. The front flares include adjustable mounting points that let you fine-tune the gap between the flare and bumper edge.
For custom or heavily modified bumpers, you may need to trim the front flare’s leading edge slightly. We provide trim lines molded into the inner surface for this purpose. Our tech support team can review photos of your specific bumper setup to confirm compatibility before you order.
Max Coverage flares extend 1.5 to 2.5 inches wider than our Pocket Style flares, depending on your vehicle application. This translates to an additional 3-5 inches of total coverage per side compared to factory fenders.
The extended width accommodates tire upgrades up to 3 inches wider than stock without tire protrusion issues. If you’re running 35-inch or larger tires on a lifted truck, Max Coverage provides the necessary fender coverage to meet most state regulations regarding tire exposure beyond body lines.
Yes, you can paint Max Coverage flares using flexible automotive paint designed for plastic substrates. We recommend thoroughly cleaning the flares with wax and grease remover, then applying an adhesion promoter before primer.
Use a flexible primer and paint system—standard automotive paint will crack as the flares flex. Many body shops are familiar with painting our flares and can color-match to your factory paint code. Keep in mind that painting voids the finish warranty, though the structural lifetime warranty remains intact.
Most applications install using factory mounting points with no drilling required. We include vehicle-specific hardware that attaches to existing holes and body panel lips.
A small number of truck models require 2-4 pilot holes for optimal fitment. When drilling is needed, we provide exact templates and the correct drill bit. Our installation instructions clearly indicate whether your specific year and model needs any holes before you begin the installation process.
Max Coverage flares are compatible with most running boards and nerf bars. The flare’s lower edge is positioned to clear running board brackets, and we’ve designed the rear flares to accommodate the mounting points used by popular running board brands.
For cab-length running boards, installation order matters—we recommend installing flares first, then running boards. If you have full-length boards that extend past the rear wheel well, you may need to adjust the board position slightly. Our customer service team can confirm compatibility with your specific running board model.
Our Dura-Flex 2000 material maintains flexibility and structural integrity from -40°F to 180°F. We’ve tested these flares in Death Valley summers and northern Canada winters to verify performance across the full temperature spectrum.
The material won’t become brittle in subzero conditions or sag in extreme heat. UV stabilizers prevent sun damage and color fade even in high-altitude desert environments. We’ve had customers run these flares in Alaska, Arizona, and everywhere in between without temperature-related failures.
Each complete set includes four fender flares (front left and right, rear left and right), all stainless steel mounting hardware, weather-resistant clips, installation templates, and detailed instructions specific to your vehicle.
We also include our UV Protectant sample packet and a warranty registration card. For models requiring minimal drilling, we provide the correct drill bit and paint touch-up for any exposed metal edges. Everything you need for installation arrives in one box—no separate hardware kits to order.
