Pacer Flexy Flares on a Ford Ranger

Many offroaders modify their trucks to fit larger tires by trimming away at the fenders. While Bushwacker offers cut out fender flares, they’re expensive, and you’re still limited to the pre-determined size that they offer.

Another option is the Pacer Flexy Flare. These flares come in a variety of sizes, and in a roll that you cut to the exact length you need. Plus, they aren’t vehicle specific and look good on any vehicle.

Many members of The Ranger Station have used these flares with great success on a variety of Ranger’s and Bronco II’s.

There are ‘Custom Fit’ and ‘Universal’ flares. What you want are the universal ones.

Sizes & Types:

Extra Wide – No Lip

The Extra Wide – No Lip flares are idea for applications where you cut your fenders and no longer have the edge (lip) at the bottom of it.

These come in 2-1/2″ and 4-1/4″ inch widths.

NOTE: These are the style used with cut out fenders.
