Bushwacker Fender Flares for Chevrolet Silverado
Our Bushwacker fender flares for the Chevrolet Silverado deliver rugged protection that stands up to rocks, mud, and road debris. Built from proprietary Dura-Flex 2000 TPO thermoplastic, each flare absorbs impact without cracking and resists UV fade for years of showroom appearance.
Designed specifically for Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 body styles from 2007 to current year models, these flares install with factory-grade precision using existing mounting points. We engineered every contour to follow Silverado fender lines while adding 2 to 2.5 inches of tire coverage, letting you run larger wheel and tire packages with full legal compliance.
Whether you haul equipment across job sites or hit the trail on weekends, our fender flares keep paint protected and your truck looking sharp. Every set ships with stainless steel hardware, edge trim, and illustrated instructions for straightforward installation.

Materials & Construction
We manufacture every Bushwacker fender flare from Dura-Flex 2000, a proprietary thermoplastic olefin compound engineered for extreme durability. Unlike rigid ABS plastic that shatters on impact, our TPO formula flexes under stress and returns to its original shape, absorbing trail debris and parking-lot knocks without surface damage.
The material formulation includes UV inhibitors that prevent chalking and color fade even under continuous sun exposure. Independent lab tests confirm zero structural degradation after 2,000 hours of accelerated weathering, equivalent to a decade of outdoor use in harsh climates.
Fitment & Compatibility
Our Silverado fender flares are vehicle-specific, with unique molds for each generation and trim level. We offer direct-fit kits for 2007–2013 (second generation), 2014–2018 (third generation), and 2019–current (fourth generation) Silverado models, including 1500, 2500HD, and 3500HD configurations.
Each kit covers all four fenders — front and rear pairs — with left and right sides precision-molded to match factory body lines. The flares integrate with existing mud flaps and wheel well liners without modification, maintaining OE splash protection and aerodynamics.
Installation Process
Most Silverado model years accept our fender flares through factory mounting points, eliminating the need for drilling into body panels. Installation time averages 90 minutes for a complete four-piece kit using basic hand tools.
Each flare locates on existing fender bolt holes and clips, secured with stainless steel fasteners included in the package. We include adhesive-backed edge trim that seals the flare-to-fender gap, preventing water intrusion and reducing wind noise. Step-by-step photo instructions guide alignment and torque specifications for every attachment point.

Questions About Bushwacker Silverado Fender Flares
Most Silverado model years from 2007 to current accept our fender flares through existing factory mounting points with no drilling required. You’ll use the original fender bolt holes and body clips for installation.
Some 2019 and newer Silverado Trail Boss and AT4 models require minor trimming of factory mud flaps for rear flare clearance, but no body panel drilling. We include trim templates and instructions in those application-specific kits.
Our standard Bushwacker fender flares add 2 to 2.5 inches of coverage per side, which accommodates up to 35-inch tires on a leveled Silverado 1500 with no rubbing at full steering lock.
For lifted trucks running 37-inch tires or wheels with aggressive offset beyond +12mm, we recommend our Max Coverage flare line, which extends an additional half-inch beyond standard width for complete tire protection.
Yes, our Dura-Flex 2000 material accepts automotive paint when properly prepped. We recommend scuffing the textured surface with 320-grit sandpaper, cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, then applying two coats of flexible bumper primer before your color topcoat.
For customers who prefer pre-painted flares, we offer a Color Match line with factory Chevrolet paint codes applied at our manufacturing facility. These arrive ready to install with no additional finish work required.
We manufacture generation-specific flares for 2007–2013, 2014–2018, and 2019–current Silverado trucks, with separate kits for 1500, 2500HD, and 3500HD models. Bed length also determines rear flare fitment — short bed, standard bed, and long bed trucks require different rear flare molds.
Our online fit guide lets you enter your VIN or select year, make, model, cab configuration, and bed length to identify the exact kit for your truck. You can also call our product specialists at the number on our contact page for fitment confirmation.
We back every Bushwacker fender flare with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, including cracking, warping, and UV fade. The warranty covers the original purchaser for as long as you own the vehicle.
The warranty does not cover damage from accidents, improper installation, or modifications to the flares. If you experience a covered defect, contact our warranty department with photos and proof of purchase for replacement part authorization.
Yes, our Bushwacker fender flares integrate with OE Chevrolet mud flaps on most Silverado models. The flares mount above the mud flap attachment points, preserving factory splash protection.
On 2019 and newer Trail Boss and AT4 models equipped with extended factory mud flaps, you may need to trim the upper corner of the rear flaps for clearance. We include trim templates in those specific kits to guide the cut line without affecting mud flap function.
Average installation time is 90 minutes for a complete four-piece kit using basic hand tools. The process involves aligning each flare to factory mounting holes, inserting stainless steel fasteners, and applying adhesive-backed edge trim.
First-time installers may take up to two hours. We recommend having a second person available to help position rear flares during initial alignment, though one person can complete the job with patience and the included photo instructions.
