Bushwacker Fender Flares for Ford F-250 — Custom Fit & Protection
Our Bushwacker fender flares for F-250 trucks are engineered to handle the punishment of work sites, trails, and daily driving while protecting your Super Duty’s paint from road debris and tire spray. Each set is custom-molded to match the contours of your 2017-2024 Ford F-250, delivering a factory-finish look with aggressive street presence.
We build these flares from our proprietary Dura-Flex 2000 material — a UV-resistant thermoplastic compound that flexes on impact and returns to shape without cracking. Whether you’re running oversized tires or simply want maximum coverage, these flares add 2.5 inches of width per side and accommodate up to 35-inch tires with mild lift.
Installation takes about two hours with basic hand tools. Every kit ships with stainless steel hardware, detailed instructions, and our exclusive EdgeTrim seal that blocks mud and moisture from settling between flare and fender. We back every set with a limited lifetime warranty covering material defects and UV fade.

Material & Construction Details
We developed Dura-Flex 2000 specifically for trucks that see real use. This proprietary thermoplastic compound absorbs impacts from road debris, trail rocks, and parking-lot encounters without shattering or leaving permanent marks. The material’s molecular structure allows it to flex up to 15% on impact and return to its original shape within seconds.
Each flare starts as a custom-molded blank matched to your F-250’s exact body lines. We apply a textured matte-black finish that hides scratches and resists UV degradation for the life of your truck. The finish is paintable if you want a color-matched look — standard automotive primer and paint adhere directly to the prepared surface.
Fitment & Tire Clearance
These flares are engineered for 2017-2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty models with standard bed lengths. Each set adds 2.5 inches of width per side, measured from the outer fender edge to the flare lip. That extra coverage accommodates up to 35-inch tires with a 2-3 inch leveling kit or mild lift, depending on wheel offset and backspacing.
We designed the flare profile to follow the factory fender radius without creating sharp angles or flat spots. The result is an integrated look that reads as a factory option rather than an aftermarket add-on. Front flares measure 16 inches from mounting point to outer edge; rears measure 18 inches to account for the F-250’s wider rear fender arch.
Installation Process & Hardware
Every kit ships with everything needed for a complete bolt-on installation: stainless steel bolts, washers, and nuts sized for F-250 mounting points, plus a drill template for marking new holes where required. You’ll need a cordless drill, 1/4-inch bit, socket set, and about two hours of garage time.
The front flares mount using four existing holes along the fender lip plus two new holes drilled through the fender well. We include adhesive-backed drill templates that stick to your fender and mark exact hole locations — no guesswork or measuring required. The rear flares use five existing mounting points and require no drilling on most F-250 configurations.

Common Questions About F-250 Fender Flares
These flares fit all 2017-2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty models regardless of cab configuration (regular, super cab, or crew cab) or bed length. The front flares are universal across all F-250 body styles, and we offer specific rear flare sets matched to short-bed and long-bed configurations. Verify your bed length before ordering to ensure you receive the correct rear set.
If you have a pre-2017 F-250, we manufacture separate flare kits designed for earlier body styles with different mounting points and fender contours.
Each flare adds 2.5 inches of width per side, increasing your truck’s overall width by 5 inches when measured at the widest point. Your F-250’s stock width is approximately 80 inches (mirror to mirror); with flares installed, the fender-to-fender measurement increases to roughly 85 inches.
This additional width still falls within legal limits for highway travel in all 50 states without requiring wide-load permits. The flares remain narrower than your side mirrors, so your effective driving width doesn’t change for lane positioning or garage clearance.
The front flares require drilling two additional holes per side through the inner fender well to achieve secure mounting. The rear flares on most F-250 configurations use five existing factory mounting points and require no drilling.
We include adhesive drill templates that mark exact hole locations, eliminating guesswork. The new holes are hidden behind the installed flare and won’t be visible if you remove the flares later. All drilling is through single-layer metal in non-structural areas — no cutting through body lines or reinforced sections.
Our flares accommodate up to 35-inch tires with a 2-3 inch leveling kit or mild suspension lift, depending on your wheel offset and backspacing. If you’re running stock suspension, you can safely fit 33-inch tires without rubbing issues.
For 37-inch tires or larger, you’ll need a more aggressive lift (4+ inches) and may require additional trimming of the inner fender liner. The flares themselves provide 2.5 inches of additional coverage, but extreme tire sizes also need corresponding suspension modifications to maintain proper articulation clearance.
Fender flares create a slight increase in frontal area and add minor drag, but the impact on fuel economy is negligible in real-world driving — typically less than 0.2 MPG difference in highway conditions. The aerodynamic penalty is far smaller than the effect of oversized tires, lift kits, or roof racks.
Many F-250 owners actually report slightly improved highway stability with flares installed, particularly in crosswinds, because the flares help channel airflow around the wider tire footprint and reduce turbulence along the body sides.
Wash the flares with automotive soap and water as part of your regular truck cleaning routine. The textured matte finish naturally hides light scratches and scuffs, but deeper marks can be touched up with matte-black trim restorer spray available at any auto parts store.
Avoid using tire shine or silicone-based dressings on the flares — these products create a glossy sheen that looks inconsistent with the matte texture. If you want added UV protection, use a water-based plastic protectant designed for matte finishes. The Dura-Flex 2000 material resists UV fade naturally, so additional protection is optional rather than required.
Our limited lifetime warranty covers material defects, UV-induced fading, and cracking under normal use for as long as you own your F-250. If a flare develops stress cracks, splits, or significant color degradation, we’ll replace it at no charge.
The warranty does not cover damage from collisions, improper installation, modifications to the flare itself, or normal wear from off-road impacts. Mounting hardware is covered for one year from purchase. To file a warranty claim, contact our customer service team with photos of the affected flare and your original purchase documentation.
