Poison Spyder Crusher Flares, Standard Width (Set of 4); Wrangler JK

The Poison Spyder JK Front Crusher Flare kit looks to improve both the looks and durability of your Jeep while you're on the trail. These flares offer better coverage of your vehicles tires, with the added advantage of better outer tire clearance and better approach angle while providing similar to the factory flare coverage (about 2" narrower than the factory fenders). The Crusher Flares are constructed from 1.5" X .120 wall DOM and utilized stainless countersunk hardware to eliminate rust issues after install whole providing subframe support to distribute impact away from the Jeep sheet metal body. These flares also include rubber gaskets that isolate the fender from direct contact with your JK giving a layer of protection between the factory paint and the fender itself.

Not sure whether to choose steel or aluminum for your Crusher Flares? Aluminum is lighter in weight, so might be the best choice for those looking to save weight on their heavy JK's in order to improve fuel mileage and gain an advantage off-road. However, when wheeling with aluminum flares it is up to the driver to use more care and finesse, as the aluminum components are not going to be able to withstand the same direct impacts that steel can. The outer tube on our aluminum Crusher Flares is beefy .188" wall thickness. Compared to our steel Crusher Flares which use .120" wall DOM steel tubing. The thicker tube wall recoups some of the strength lost by going to aluminum, however the steel versions will still be stronger in a direct impact with the rocks. For reference, a steel JK Front Crusher Flare weighs 31.6 lbs (not including hardware), while an aluminum one weighs only 11.8 lbs. Which is best for you will depend on your particular intended use of the Jeep, driving style and other factors.
