Are you ripping these off becuase of your sagging springs and 235's?  If so, you must have the light duty springs.

What does gay duty have to do with saggy springs??








































































































































If anything I'd have to say they were like the last pair of boobies he ever saw...SAGGY!!

Don't buy new plastic flares, they just get ripped off by trees, rocks, etc.

Since your biggest concern is the rear, I would start with the rear flairs and see how it looks.  It might look a little strange with the back flairs in black and the fronts in Green, but you could paint the fronts a satin black and it would match pretty close.  I would hold of on the fronts until you settle on a front bumper.  Most of the rubbing in the front will come from steering not the wheel well.  Plus if you screw up the back you just need a new body, the front fenders will still look ok ;D
